2008 we have decided to suspend badger watch for the foreseeable future, our badgers still have not recovered in numbers at the moment.

The Badger Watch at Bosence Meadow is organised by David and Sarah Chapman.  They offer more than just a Badger Watch, giving a short tour of the smallholding on which they usually keep chickens, sheep and pigs.  You might also see a variety of other natural history typically including adders, many birds, wildflowers, butterflies, wood mice and slow worms but anything is possible.

Admission fee:   Adults   £6.00  Children   £5.00 

(Special deals for families with two or more children, phone for details). 

Tours are organised from May to September and typically start at around 7pm and the badger watch will end at around 9.30pm but times vary.  The hide will seat eight visitors so group sizes are small and arrangements can often be adapted to suit your requirements.

Video cameras are acceptable on any evening but photography evenings will only be arranged by prior agreement.  If you have a dog then it can be exercised in a restricted area but must be left in your car.

Bosence Meadow is situated within a few miles of Hayle, Helston and Penzance.  Detailed directions will be provided when you phone to book.  Please telephone, 01736 850287, to book your place on a Badger Watch at least 24 hours in advance.  Bed and breakfast accommodation can be arranged either at Bosence Meadow or in a neighbouring cottage.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please remember that it is not possible to guarantee seeing badgers, though we have yet to fail!
