Bat Watch

About Bat Watch

Hampshire Bat Group is back by popular demand to tell us all about these amazing creatures. We begin with an illustrated talk and then it's off into the woods at dusk to see and hear the bats in action.

Children must be accompanied.

How to get there:

Bat Watch starts at Education Centre in Alice Holt Forest Centre which is part of Alice Holt Forest. Farnham is the nearest town or village.

From the A31 turn off at Farnham onto the A325. Stay on the A325 for approximately 3 miles. From Portsmouth and Petersfield take the A325 towards Farnham. At the Halfway House Pub on the A325 turn off the main road following signs for Alice Holt Forest. The entrance is 300 yards along this road on the left. The nearest station is at Bentley. From here you can walk through Alice Holt Forest to the Forest Centre along public rights of way. Alternatively take the train to Farnham and catch a bus to Bucks Horn Oak. The Education Centre is located adjacent to the second car park you come to after entering the forest.
