NEW YEAR’S MORNING BIRD WALK

Start 2026 with a feel-good walk – wrap up warm and have a New Year wander through the stunning lower Derwent Valley, spotting winter birds as you go.

Local ornithologist Michael will help you with identification skills and spotting the rich bird life that is still around even in the depths of Winter. A great way to welcome in the New Year!

Buy a cuppa from our café to take with you, or why not treat yourself to a New Year’s breakfast or brunch and a hot drink from our café to warm you up as you chat about the birds you spotted on your refreshing Winter walk.

Tickets £9.50 per person. Booking essential.

The walk will be on regular pathways with some slight gradients. Please bring binoculars if you have them and dress appropriately with stout footwear, waterproofs may be necessary depending on the weather.

No dogs please.
