Goose Roost on Sandflats at Mersehead

BOOKING ESSENTIAL

Part of the #WildGooseFestival2024.

Some of the greatest spectacles of nature take place at dusk. Join our guide to enjoy Svalbard barnacle geese descending on the sandflat and reserve to roost.

This will involve a ¾mile/1.3km walk to the viewing, to view geese as they fly over onto the sandflats. There be some standing around for a while once in position. Please wrap up warmly, come prepared for cold or wet weather and bring a torch for safe return to the car park afterwards.

Families welcome (though not suitable for early years). All children must be accompanied by ticketed adults.

Please note, as the reserve location is prone to flooding, we ask that all individuals/groups attending provide a telephone number, so we can notify you in advance if the event is cancelled.

Note that access over the sand-dunes is not suitable for normal wheelchairs or mobility scooters.
