About this Event

Join us for a bat walk organised by the Canal & River Trust. The evening will commence with a short talk introducing bats and their behaviour followed by a session on how to use a bat detector. We’ll then take a walk along the canal watching and listening for these fascinating creatures of the night!

Please wear warm clothing and sturdy footwear. Bat detectors will be provided.

Booking is essential. In the event of heavy rain or strong winds the event will be postponed.

This event will start from Litherland – car park at the end of Kirkstone Rd West, L21 0EQ and we will walk along the towpath beside Rimrose country park.
