If you love BBC Springwatch, Winterwatch and Autumnwatch, you’ll have seen Wild Ken Hill on screen. Now experience the restorative power of nature in person. The solace of connecting to Nature has never been more urgent or more vital. As presenter Chris Packham says “I get a big hit when I come to Wild Ken Hill as you can see farming working alongside nature and both doing really well.” If climate chaos gives you sleepless nights, a visit to Wild Ken Hill will help restore balance.

This walk gives you the big picture, showing how the estate’s diverse seasonal activities work in harmony with natural cycles. You’ll explore the ground beneath your feet and learn about growing food sustainably, mindful of the soil’s best interests. In the rewilding area, you’ll understand the marvellous work of grazing species – Exmoor ponies, Tamworth pigs and Red Poll cattle. Every season reveals its own wild treasures, and, depending on the time of year, your guide will point out fungi, bright starry flowers, browsing deer, songbirds, butterflies or bats. The resident beavers are nocturnal so will probably be resting, though you’ll see evidence of their inexhaustible efforts, beneficial to the wetlands. Gaze at sweeping vistas over the sea, where curlew, avocet and lapwing wade in The Wash and come to understand the significance of deadwood and glades in the woods. Across Ken Hill Plain, where purple heather blooms, your eyes will be opened to the rich abundance of species who make this their home.
