Wild Badger Watching Experience for Two! Enjoy a memorable evening in the Shropshire countryside with this unique wildlife experience for two people. As dusk falls, you will have the chance to observe one of Britain's most elusive nocturnal animals in its natural habitat. Your experience begins at 5:00 PM, when you will be guided to a purpose-built viewing hide overlooking a well-established badger sett that has been home to around 20 badgers for more than 30 years. From just a few metres away, watch these fascinating creatures emerge to forage, play and interact naturally. The experience is conducted with the badgers' welfare as the priority, allowing you to witness authentic behaviour without disturbing their natural environment. As darkness falls, keep an eye out for other woodland wildlife, including red foxes, tawny owls, jays and even the occasional weasel. With groups limited to just 10 participants, you will enjoy a peaceful and intimate wildlife experience that's perfect for nature lovers. While sightings can never be guaranteed, the long-established sett offers an excellent opportunity for an unforgettable encounter with Britain's native wildlife.
