Curlew & Endangered Wader Safaris

Explore Bolton Abbey’s moorland with expert guidance from our team of Gamekeepers.

£60 per vehicle – up to 4 people – limited spaces available

Tour the spectacular moorland with our keepers in estate vehicles for a chance to spot the beautiful but elusive curlew and other endangered birds. These events aim to celebrate the strong curlew population on the estate and raise awareness for their plight across the north of England and globally.

This guided curlew and endangered wader safari will be led by our gamekeepers, who will share their years of knowledge and experience with you. The moorlands at Bolton Abbey have been managed by gamekeepers for decades. Today the management takes a holistic approach of these special areas, including protecting the habitats for diverse species and reintroducing others.

See how we are creating a unique landscape with fantastic flora and fauna, which is not replicated anywhere else in the world. In addition to curlews, you may also see lapwings, golden plover, merlins, red kites, snipe… the whole spectrum.

Running on; 25th May, 26th May, 1st June and 2nd June.
