Enjoy a ranger led, family friendly, bat watch at John O’Groats Mill. Use our electronic bat detectors to hear and locate the bats as they hunt insects in the darkness. Learn all about the life cycle of these fascinating mammals and how you can help to protect them.

The mill is all abilities friendly, with public toilets and warm drinks available to purchase. We will spend some time watching the bats outside, in the small fenced field directly by the main display room. Wear suitable warm clothing and bring a torch. We can stay under cover and still watch bats from the main room, if the weather isn’t too good. All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Booking is essential, here.
