Explore the Wildside of the Durham Dales and North Pennines with a wildlife expert

Exploring on foot is the only way to fully appreciate the wildlife, nature and beauty of the Durham Dales. Join professional naturalist, Bruce Ferguson, on an expedition to discover the birdlife, the plants and the mammals that help make these dales a very special location. We’ll look for the tracks, trails and signs of the more secretive animals which include red squirrel and otter. Although nothing is guaranteed the exploration will undoubtedly open your eyes to the wild and often hidden side of the Durham Dales.

As an alternative to the above general exploration why not try our birding expedition into the wilds of the North Pennine moorlands and discover the waders and birds of prey for which this area is renowned. If you'd like this option just say so on your booking form. Binoculars can be provided on request.
