BADGERWATCH, NEAR DORCHESTER

YOU are guaranteed to see badgers at this peaceful spot in Buckland Newton.

The elusive animals regularly emerge from their setts at night and forage for food close to the setts. The area is floodlit for perfect vision and visits from other wildlife such as owls, foxes, rabbits and bats add to the spectacle.

For people's visit it is recommended they bring a torch (to light the short walk from the hides back to the car park) some walking boots or stout shoes and warm outdoor clothing. If people wish to stay in the hide until dawn, it is suggested they bring some form of refreshments.

Pre-booking is essential. Call 01300 345293 or 07860 759996 or see badgerwatchdorset.co.uk
