About Badger Watching
Join an organised watch in a purpose built enclosed hide located near Pickering. Bring a pair of binoculars and some patience and you should be rewarded with fine views of these elusive animals. The hide is wheelchair friendly, please ask for details on booking. Wear soft 'quiet' clothing and if you bring a snack avoid 'noisy' sweets and crisps. PLEASE NOTE: Additional nights of Mondays in July are available this year that can only be booked 1 week in advance.
How to get there:
Badger Watching starts at Stape Village in Cropton Forest. Cropton is the nearest town or village.
