Badger Watch

A rare opportunity to tour deep into the heart of Kielder Forest to watch badgers as they emerge from their sett in early evening to feed, play and do a bit of housekeeping.

How to get there:

Badger Watch starts at Warksburn Picnic Site in Kielder which is part of Kielder. Stonehaugh is the nearest town or village.

Follow the B6320 from Hexham turning off at Wark and following the forest signs to Stonehaugh
