Deer Walk (shorter)
Advertisement
Join ranger Andy on a walk to hopefully see and hear some of the Quantock Hills largest and most secretive mammals.
They can be elusive but at this time of year the annual deer rut should be in full swing so the male stags are looking to maintain their harem and see off any other challenging males. This makes the herds a little more active and noisy, with the males bellowing to challenge other males and establish their territory.
This walk will be around 2 miles in length and suitable for children who are able to walk this far.
Wear sturdy walking boots and preferably dark colour clothing suitable for the weather conditions on the day. Binoculars are a good idea and maybe a torch as it will begin to get dark at the end of the walk. Please also see https://www.quantockhills.com/attending-an-event for more useful tips.
Tickets are £2.50 for adults and children are free when accompanied by a paying adult.
Maximum number in group – 15

No dogs I'm afraid, the deer can smell them a mile off!
