This walk is part of a series of seasonal strolls on Cambourne Nature Reserve.
Join nature enthusiast and Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs, and Northants staff member Rebecca Neal for a night walk through Cambourne Nature Reserve and via public footpaths to Bourn Windmill. We'll walk around 3 miles (in total)at a gentle pace with bat detectors to hear these fascinating night-time hunters, and we'll also listen out for hooting owls and barking deer. We may even come across some glow worms!
This walk is aimed at adults but interested older children are welcome.
