Wildlife Tours in England

Diverse habitats, from extensive coastlines to heath and moorlands and bird-rich wetlands, make wildlife tours in England special experiences. The country is full of nature reserves of all sizes, carefully managed to suit the needs of native wildlife.  These areas are maintained by each individual county’s  Wildlife Trust branch, or the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and the National Trust, along with many privately owned reserves. All of these provide visitors with easy-to-access nature and education facilities.

In addition, England is crisscrossed by a huge number of public footpaths, routes into parts of the country well away from roads. Along these it’s possible to submerge yourself in the sights and sounds of the natural world. Although it is quite a densely populated country, it’s still possible to enjoy a wildlife tour in England in wildernesses free from human activity.

A knowledgeable local guide can help you to fully appreciate the range of habitats and species. This is not only in the reserves but throughout the English countryside. These guides know all the secrets of their areas, where to find even the most elusive of animals and when is the best time of year, and day, to look for them. And they can add to the whole experience with tales of the history and ecology of their patch.

Birders can choose the spectacles of the seabird colonies on Bempton Cliffs in Yorkshire or the waders on the Somerset Levels. You can enjoy the winter geese in Norfolk and the coastal and forest species of Northumberland. Or the nightjars of the north Yorkshire moors. That’s to name just a very few of the important birding areas and species found in England.

And don’t forget, along with the birds England has interesting mammals, invertebrates and plants to admire.
