Pegwell Bay spring wildlife walk
Enjoying Pegwell Bay's natural treasures.
This Easter holiday, why not enjoy the wonders of spring on a relaxed wildlife focussed guided walk. Pegwell Bay National Nature Reserve remains a beautifully wild part of the Kent coastline and is protected because of its huge variety of habitats and vulnerable wildlife. The migrating coastal birds will soon leave for their northern breeding grounds, making this the perfect opportunity to see them before they go. There will be plenty of other wildlife to see, as we’ll head to our seal viewing spot and even introduce you to our lovely highland cows. This is a great opportunity to find out more about how you and your family can enjoy the coastline this spring while also looking out for local wildlife.
Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or an action-packed day out, Kent Wildlife Trust has something for everyone. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to connect with nature and create some lasting memories with your family? View our Easter events below and book your activities today to make this a holiday to remember!
