Upcoming Events
Curlew & Endangered Wader Safaris
Tour the spectacular moorland with our experienced keepers in estate vehicles for a chance to spot the beautiful but elusive curlew and other endangered birds. These events aim to celebrate the strong curlew population on the estate and raise awareness for their plight across the north of England and globally.
This guided curlew and endangered wader safari will be led by our gamekeepers, who will share their years of knowledge and experience with you. The moorland at Bolton Abbey has been managed by gamekeepers for decades. Today the management takes a holistic approach of these special areas, including protecting the habitats for diverse species and reintroducing others.
