Nature Tours

The Cotswold Bird-watching Company is now offering tours to see a wide selection of nature in the local Cotswold area.

These will be run in exactly the same way as the bird-watching trips, with the same style of experience available and can be tailored to the time of year and your wishes. This is an opportunity to truly get close to nature and take away memories that will stay with you for a very long time.

Whether you fancy spending a few hours on a summer’s day seeing butterflies flitting around hay meadows or an ancient woodland, watching clouds of damselflies and dragonflies rising and falling around a lake then these walks are for you.

We are blessed with some amazing hay meadows in the local area, the colours change as the seasons progress from the yellows of primroses and cowslips in April to the purples of orchids and knapweed in June. 

There are a number of truly special ancient woodlands in the local area, they have a unique mix of birds, plants and butterflies.

If you’ve seen hares chasing around a field on the TV and have always thought you’d like to see that for yourself, but don’t know how, contact us and we’ll see what we can do to!

So why not try something different and try one of these walks?
