Badger Watch
Dorchester, Dorset
Old Henley Farm, Buckland Newton, Dorchester Dorset, DT2 7BL
Tel: 01300 345293
From our hides, thrill at the sight of badgers emerging from their setts and foraging for food. The area is floodlit for perfect vision and visits from other wildlife such as owls, foxes, rabbits and bats add to the spectacle.
We are pleased to announce that during the last 5 years we have recorded an excellent sighting record at Badger Watch Dorset, this means that you are virtually guaranteed to see wild badgers in their own natural environment.
For your visit we recommend that you arrive here by 6:15 pm for a 6:30pm start, bring a torch (to light the short walk from the hides back to the car park) some walking boots or stout shoes and warm outdoor clothing. You can decide how long that you want to stay, up until midnight when the lights will go off.
