  • Event lasts 2 hours

Otters - learn what to look for, get to know their signs, trails, tracks and their Poo! [spraints]. We might not actually see an otter but you will certainly know what to look for in future. The north west coast is one of the best places to find otters, plus it is a beautiful walk with much of interest to see. A walk with the ranger not to be missed. This is an event for families but all children must be be accompanied by parent/guardian. The walk is mostly on short grass but some rocky areas. About 4km walk along the coast.
