Day Trips
Thanks for your interest in our trips. You can see below a sample of the trips we ran in 2024. Please check back for more trips in early 2025 or sign up to our newsletter to be alerted when dates are added.
Trips are a great way to improve your knowledge, meet like minded people and learn all important field skills to help you increase your enjoyment of nature. Groups are accompanied by 2 guides, and all trips are fully insured and risk assessed. Prices are based on meeting at site, although free lifts are available from Pontypool (NP4 6RR). We can also help facilitate car sharing. All participants receive full joining instructions including comprehensive directions, and a full trip report including photographs. Trips are for 6 to 12 people and require a minimum of 3 attendees to run (unless otherwise stated).​
Please note: All trips are advertised to run on Saturdays but if the weather is prohibitive then we may switch it to the Sunday of the same weekend. Butterfly trips may also be re-scheduled if emergence of the target species is delayed due to temperature/ weather - this is because we pride ourselves in only running trips when there is a good liklihood of seeing what we set out to see. Exclusive, tailored and trips for groups are also available on request.
