Britain's What's On Event Guide
Beaver Enclosure Tours
Venture inside our beaver enclosure with a guide in search of signs of beaver activity and discover how they’re transforming the habitat.
Idle Valley Nature Reserve is the home of Nottinghamshire's only beavers!
Beavers are slowly being reintroduced to the UK in a number of different locations. They're known as keystone species and ecosystem engineers, famous for their ability to transform landscapes, boost biodiversity, alleviate flooding, and capture carbon.
At around 60 hectares, our beaver enclosure is the largest in the UK with space for not just a couple of beavers but up to 18 - that's 3 families of 6 in three separate territories!
Join us for an exclusive two-hour guided tour inside the enclosure. Venturing through the beaver’s tangled wetland world, you’ll see clear signs of their activity such as tree felling, damming, lodge building, debarking and digging. You’ll also spot some of the other wildlife benefiting from their efforts.
Please see website to book and for further information.
