Cornwall Beaver Project Guided Walk - Individuals and families - Wednesday 09 September 2026

Take a walk around our unique reserve to see what the beavers have been building, including their dams and the first lodge in Cornwall in over 400 years!

Join us for a guided walk around the reserve and then relax in this tranquil place at dusk to (hopefully) see and hear the beavers in action.

During the two hour visit, we’ll show you how busy the beavers have been and teach you about their fantastic way of life as ecosystem engineers! Before the walk around the enclosure, there will be a talk to learn more about beavers. The walks will take place in the evening to ensure that you get the best opportunity to see the beavers. The animals are becoming more secretive so a sighting isn’t guaranteed.

Early Evening – Guided Kayaking Fowey Estuary - Thursday 10 September 2026

Join Cornwall Wildlife Trust and Encounter Cornwall for a magical evening on the beautiful Fowey Estuary as day gently turns to dusk.

Accompanied by an experienced guide and a member of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust team, you'll spend two peaceful hours exploring this special tidal landscape by kayak. Depending on the tide, we'll either venture into the tranquil waters of Penpol Creek or glide along the estuary's sandbanks as the setting sun casts a golden glow across the river.

Along the way, keep watch for shoals of mullet moving upstream from the sea, wading birds settling into their evening roosts, and the rich wildlife that calls this estuary home. As the river slows and the light softens, you'll experience one of Cornwall's most beautiful natural spectacles.

Our adventure concludes in the picturesque riverside village of Golant, where you'll have the opportunity to relax with a drink and enjoy supper at the renowned Fisherman's Arms. It's the perfect chance to unwind, share stories from the paddle, and make new friends while overlooking the water.

A memorable evening of wildlife, wellbeing, and wonderful company awaits.
