The Hide
The hide gives an excellent view of a large and very active badger sett. Open for supervised visits for a high proportion of spring, summer and autumn evenings, this is a superb facility which allows Members and their families to watch badgers (and badger cubs) first hand from the relative comfort of a concealed hide. At the hide you can watch badgers and be entertained by their feeding, scratching and general playing and scampering about. For people who can do this, it is a magical experience. Suitable for adults and well-behaved (i.e. quiet and still) older children, the hide is located across a field and on the edge of a hidden woodland. We reckon that badgers are about 97% certain to be seen on every visit. In past years the badgers have been very reliable in their appearances, allowing members to see and experience a superb wildlife experience. It is possible, by prior arrangement, to use the hide for photography (including making videos and by wildlife photographers). Regretfully, because of the position of the hide, access is by a rough track and wheelchair access is very difficult. In the fullness of time, we are hoping to obtain Lottery funding to improve this situation. However, please contact us at hide@lancashirebadgergroup.org.uk if you have limited mobility, as we will try our very best to help you.
