Britain's What's On Event Guide
Nature by Canoe at RSPB Ham Wall
What would Ham Wall look like if you were an otter? How does it feel to float low on the water in the middle of a reedbed packed with nature?
Find out on a unique opportunity to discover Ham Wall by canoe. Join an experienced instructor and expert wildlife guide as we paddle around rarely-seen areas of this breath-taking ecosystem. Birds, mammals, insects and amphibians - they all make their home in the reedbed and are ready to be experienced as never before!
Advanced booking required - tickets will be sent to the email address you provide and should be presented (digital or print) on the day of your event.
No previous experience is needed but a reasonable level of fitness and mobility is required. This event is suitable for ages 6+. Children (6-17) must be accompanied by an adult.
We ask you to arrive at the Ham Wall car park at least 30 minutes before the advertised time and register with staff at the RSPB Café. There is a 10-15 minute walk over some rough and uneven ground to reach the area where you will be starting your canoe trip. We regret that we are unable to provide transport there.
