Wildlife and Birdwatching in Winter

26–30 January 2026 (Mon–Fri)

The coast, moors and estuaries around Lee Abbey afford great potential for a range of different species, especially seabirds and waders that migrate here for the winter. We will spend our days out in search of Curlews, Godwits, seals and other Exmoor wildlife, with the warmth of Lee Abbey fellowship to return to each day. PLEASE NOTE: A good basic level of fitness is required as there will be some walking involved of 1–2 miles at a time, including some stiles, in order to reach the birds. Limited to 13 places.
