Booking essential. Join us for a splashing time, dipping into the depths of the Branscombe brook to meet its watery residents.
Armed with special stream dipping nets and trays, we will dip for aquatic minibeasts.
This will help us work out how clean the stream is by the variety of animals that might be living there.
Dipping activities
All kinds of discovery activities will be organised and led by Ruth Worsley - our brilliant Wildlife Engagement Officer and Meg Vallender, Visitor Experience Officer – East Devon Countryside-National Trust with Nicola Westlake, farmer at Manor Mill Farm.
Young nature fans
This is the ideal activity for children/grandchildren, accompanied by their grown-ups please.

Further upstream visit the recently restored National Trust's Manor Mill which is powered by the same stream!
