Adder Walk

Goatfell

Ever wanted to see an adder in the wild? Join us for a ramble through Glen Rosa with a chance of encountering  our native reptiles.

Glen Rosa

April is mating time for Adders! Here's a chance for you to experience the 'dance of the adder' as males fight to impress the females. Like any wildlife event this is all weather dependent, but if conditions are right, then all three of Arran's reptile species may be encountered - adder, slow worm and lizard. We may even see one of Arran's rarer black adders. And if it's wet and cold - well we can look out for some of Scotland's other iconic wildlife instead and discover all about how we're manaing Glen Rosa for wildlife!The walk will cover up to 6km and for the best chance of seeing adders we will be venturing off paths onto uneven and sometimes boggy ground. The pace will be fairly slow, looking out for some of our elusive mountain wildlife along the way. As well as sharing fascinating facts about the glen's flora and fauna, the rangers will also chat about the landscape-scale Glen Rosa Habitat Revival project."Need to knows" for the day:Due to the chance of encountering adders, a venomous snake, this walk is not suitable for u14yr olds. All u18s must be accompanied.Please note that we have a "no dogs" policy at our events, as not everybody likes dogs and some people are allergic. They can also affect the chances of seeing wildlife.Cancellations can be made up to 24hrs before the event, however any Eventbrite fees levied are non-refundable. We reserve the right to cancel the event at short notice (e.g. due to extreme weather), in which case a full refund will be given.
