Experiences in Nature

We really enjoyed our visit and guided walk around Wild Ken Hill, learning about the different landscapes, plants and creatures, with some hidden surprises. We saw a wonderful variety of peaceful, healthy, natural habitats - the power of nature, helped by humans - and we hope to return to see more as it evolves, at different times of year.

I received a fascinating tour of a nascent rewilding project with a huge amount of potential. This kind of mix of traditional conservation, rewilding and regenerative agriculture could and should be the future of much of the British countryside. Dominic, the manager of the rewilding area, was an excellent guide - enthusiastic and knowledgeable, yet also aware of the sensitivities surrounding such projects. Highly recommended!

The highlight of 2020 for a group of retired doctors was a tour of Wild Ken Hill. We were interested to learn more about the plans for rewilding. Our guide was meticulous in his planning, aware that some of the group might find difficulty walking a brisk pace over some paths. He spoke clearly, enthusiastically and with a depth of knowledge about the plans to introduce animals and bring the landscape back to native trees which would have been growing a century earlier. At the time of our tour the only animals which had been introduced were beavers but we all agreed that another tour, Covid permitting, would be requested.
