The Hide
 We have a superb
purpose-built badger hide in the Ribble Valley - this is an observation
hut, which lets you view and study badgers and their fluffy little cubs in
relative comfort.
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.
