SUMMARY:Beaver Enclosure Safari
DESCRIPTION:EXPLORE NORTHUMBERLAND’S BEAVER ENCLOSURE\n\n\n\nIn partnership with National Trust Wallington\, we are thrilled to host Beaver Enclosure Safaris\, showcasing the remarkable architectural and engineering achievements of these dynamic mammals\, which were introduced to the estate in July 2023. \n\n\n\nWild Intrigue guides will share their knowledge and firsthand experience as beaver ecologists whilst you explore this dynamic wetland habitat. This unique opportunity will immerse you in the fascinating ecology and intrigue of beavers in the beautiful Northumberland countryside. \n\n\n\nYou’ll witness and learn about a range of captivating beaver activities\, such as sculpture-like gnawed tree stumps\, masterfully dug channels and impressive dams. These complex\, ever-changing beaver features make this wetland one of the most exciting habitats to explore. With more water held back in the landscape\, thriving freshwater life – from wetland birds and fish\, to unexpected surprises like insects feeding on sugar-rich sap – offers different encounters on every safari. \n\n\n\nWhile the nocturnal beavers themselves are highly unlikely to be seen on Beaver Enclosure Safaris\, the magic lies in seeing and understanding their incredible ecosystem engineering. Our Dusk Beaver Safaris will return in early Summer 2026 to watch the beavers and experience the tranquility of their wetland habitat – find out more here. \n\n\n\nOur Beaver Enclosure Safaris at NT Wallington are among the most exciting wildlife experiences in the Wild Intrigue collection\, as you witness the profound impact this keystone species has on the surrounding plants\, animals\, and even the behaviour of water itself. \n\n\n\nBeavers continuously upgrade their wetland habitats\, quickly adapting to changes in water flow\, food availability\, and family dynamics. This means each Beaver Enclosure Safari will be truly unique\, with flexible itineraries to accommodate the busy beavers and abundant other wildlife. \n\n\n\nWild Intrigue had previously undertaken community engagement for a number of beaver restoration projects in northern England and Scotland. We are thrilled to now to share our expertise and insights from Britain and Europe in our home county of Northumberland\, in partnership with National Trust Wallington. \n\n\n\nTo date we have hosted over 100 immersive beaver experiences in the Wallington Beaver Enclosure\, and are excited to continue sharing the evolving landscape and seasonal changes of the Wallington beaver wetland. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE\n\n\n\n– The beaver enclosure features rugged\, uneven terrain\, including some hilly areas that guests must navigate. The walking safari moves at a leisurely pace\, allowing guests to fully experience the diverse wetland environment. If you have any questions about accessibility within the enclosure\, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. \n\n\n\n– The Beaver Enclosure is not located in the main NT Wallington visitor hub\, as detailed on the map. It is approximately a 10 minute drive north. The exact meeting point with directions will be shared upon booking. \n\n\n\n– Pre-booking is essential. Beaver Enclosure Safaris are only suitable for ages 16+. \n\n\n\n– Ticket holders can enjoy complimentary same-day access to the National Trust Wallington estate! \n\n\n\nFor more information please visit the main Mini-Exped page. \n\n\n\nThe reintroduction of beavers at Wallington forms a vital part of the National Trust’s ambition for Wilder Wallington\, to restore native species and natural ecosystem functions across the vast 5321ha estate.

SUMMARY:Kielder e-Bike Safari
DESCRIPTION:Explore Kielder Forest & Water by e-bike\n\nBrand new for 2025! We’re excited to introduce a new experience to the Wild Intrigue collection\, the Kielder e-Bike Safari. Join your Wild Intrigue guide\, and Abi from Bikes and Bird Hides\, to explore Kielder Forest & Water’s wildlife by e-Bike. \n\n\n\nStarting at Kielder Waterside\, you will be guided on a 18km route along the Lakeside Way which runs through Kielder’s forest\, woodland\, grassland\, and wetland habitats. This is the perfect way to discover the wildlife that calls this part of Northumberland home\, whilst cycling amongst the dramatic landscapes of this corner of Northumberland. At the end of the ride we will hop on board the Osprey Ferry to return to Kielder Waterside\, offering one final opportunity to spot the Kielder Ospreys on our return trip. \n\n\n\nThis experience offers the chance to discover a different side to Kielder\, and to observe and hear about the area’s past\, current and future ecologies – along with exciting rewilding and nature restoration project being undertaken\, including local conservation success stories such as the Osprey\, Water Vole and Pine Marten. \n\n\n\nE-Bikes\, helmets and binoculars are provided.

SUMMARY:Beaver Enclosure Safari
DESCRIPTION:EXPLORE NORTHUMBERLAND’S BEAVER ENCLOSURE\n\n\n\nIn partnership with National Trust Wallington\, we are thrilled to host Beaver Enclosure Safaris\, showcasing the remarkable architectural and engineering achievements of these dynamic mammals\, which were introduced to the estate in July 2023. \n\n\n\nWild Intrigue guides will share their knowledge and firsthand experience as beaver ecologists whilst you explore this dynamic wetland habitat. This unique opportunity will immerse you in the fascinating ecology and intrigue of beavers in the beautiful Northumberland countryside. \n\n\n\nYou’ll witness and learn about a range of captivating beaver activities\, such as sculpture-like gnawed tree stumps\, masterfully dug channels and impressive dams. These complex\, ever-changing beaver features make this wetland one of the most exciting habitats to explore. With more water held back in the landscape\, thriving freshwater life – from wetland birds and fish\, to unexpected surprises like insects feeding on sugar-rich sap – offers different encounters on every safari. \n\n\n\nWhile the nocturnal beavers themselves are highly unlikely to be seen on Beaver Enclosure Safaris\, the magic lies in seeing and understanding their incredible ecosystem engineering. Our Dusk Beaver Safaris will return in early Summer 2025 to watch the beavers and experience the tranquility of their wetland habitat – find out more here. \n\n\n\nOur Beaver Enclosure Safaris at NT Wallington are among the most exciting wildlife experiences in the Wild Intrigue collection\, as you witness the profound impact this keystone species has on the surrounding plants\, animals\, and even the behaviour of water itself. \n\n\n\nBeavers continuously upgrade their wetland habitats\, quickly adapting to changes in water flow\, food availability\, and family dynamics. This means each Beaver Enclosure Safari will be truly unique\, with flexible itineraries to accommodate the busy beavers and abundant other wildlife. \n\n\n\nWild Intrigue had previously undertaken community engagement for a number of beaver restoration projects in northern England and Scotland. We are thrilled to now to share our expertise and insights from Britain and Europe in our home county of Northumberland\, in partnership with National Trust Wallington. \n\n\n\nIn the summer of 2024\, Wild Intrigue hosted 50 immersive beaver experiences at the Wallington Beaver Enclosure. We’re excited to continue sharing the evolving landscape and seasonal changes of the Wallington beaver wetland. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE\n\n\n\n– The beaver enclosure features rugged\, uneven terrain\, including some hilly areas that guests must navigate. The walking safari moves at a leisurely pace\, allowing guests to fully experience the diverse wetland environment. If you have any questions about accessibility within the enclosure\, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. \n\n\n\n– The Beaver Enclosure is not located in the main NT Wallington visitor hub\, as detailed on the map. It is approximately a 10 minute drive north. The exact meeting point with directions will be shared upon booking. \n\n\n\n– Pre-booking is essential. Beaver Enclosure Safaris are only suitable for ages 16+. \n\n\n\n– Ticket holders can enjoy complimentary same-day access to the National Trust Wallington estate! \n\n\n\nFor more information please visit the main Mini-Exped page. \n\n\n\nThe reintroduction of beavers at Wallington forms a vital part of the National Trust’s ambition for Wilder Wallington\, to restore native species and natural ecosystem functions across the vast 5321ha estate.

SUMMARY:Quayside Wildlife Safari
DESCRIPTION:Amongst the spectacular architecture of Newcastle\, incredible wildness can be found in our everyday explorations of the city. \n\n\n\nBetween Newcastle and Gateshead runs the tidal vein of the River Tyne. With its comings and goings between sea and land\, the scenery of the urban Quayside is ever-changing\, and so too is the wildlife which lives within and alongside it. \n\n\n\nOur Quayside is renowned as being home to the world’s most inland breeding colony of Black-legged Kittiwakes\, but also an incredible array of other\, perhaps surprising\, species. From familiar curb-side Feral Pigeons\, to awe-inspiring Peregrine Falcons\, which sit atop bridges\, viewing the city like magnificent gargoyles.  \n\n\n\nThe River Tyne was once a heavily polluted\, industrial river\, but now you can see Otters and Grey Seals feeding in the river\, Kittiwakes breeding on the stunning architecture and iconic Tyne Bridge\, Shelduck\, Teal\, and Redshank foraging amongst Dunston Staiths and a whole host of other species. \n\n\n\nJoin a Wild Intrigue guide for a journey along the Newcastle-Gateshead Quayside\, to discover the wildlife that calls this city home. You’ll discover the history of the River Tyne\, and how its industrial past has shaped the wildlife that can now be found in the heart of this urban landscape. \n\n\n\nThis walking tour will be approximately 5 miles long\, following footpaths along the River Tyne. We’ll stop for lunch along the banks of the river to enjoy a delicious packed lunch from local social enterprise\, Big River Bakery.

SUMMARY:Beaver Enclosure Safari
DESCRIPTION:EXPLORE NORTHUMBERLAND’S BEAVER ENCLOSURE\n\n\n\nIn partnership with National Trust Wallington\, we are thrilled to host Beaver Enclosure Safaris\, showcasing the remarkable architectural and engineering achievements of these dynamic mammals\, which were introduced to the estate in July 2023. \n\n\n\nWild Intrigue guides will share their knowledge and firsthand experience as beaver ecologists whilst you explore this dynamic wetland habitat. This unique opportunity will immerse you in the fascinating ecology and intrigue of beavers in the beautiful Northumberland countryside. \n\n\n\nYou’ll witness and learn about a range of captivating beaver activities\, such as sculpture-like gnawed tree stumps\, masterfully dug channels and impressive dams. These complex\, ever-changing beaver features make this wetland one of the most exciting habitats to explore. With more water held back in the landscape\, thriving freshwater life – from wetland birds and fish\, to unexpected surprises like insects feeding on sugar-rich sap – offers different encounters on every safari. \n\n\n\nWhile the nocturnal beavers themselves are highly unlikely to be seen on Beaver Enclosure Safaris\, the magic lies in seeing and understanding their incredible ecosystem engineering. Our Dusk Beaver Safaris will return in early Summer 2025 to watch the beavers and experience the tranquility of their wetland habitat – find out more here. \n\n\n\nOur Beaver Enclosure Safaris at NT Wallington are among the most exciting wildlife experiences in the Wild Intrigue collection\, as you witness the profound impact this keystone species has on the surrounding plants\, animals\, and even the behaviour of water itself. \n\n\n\nBeavers continuously upgrade their wetland habitats\, quickly adapting to changes in water flow\, food availability\, and family dynamics. This means each Beaver Enclosure Safari will be truly unique\, with flexible itineraries to accommodate the busy beavers and abundant other wildlife. \n\n\n\nWild Intrigue had previously undertaken community engagement for a number of beaver restoration projects in northern England and Scotland. We are thrilled to now to share our expertise and insights from Britain and Europe in our home county of Northumberland\, in partnership with National Trust Wallington. \n\n\n\nIn the summer of 2024\, Wild Intrigue hosted 50 immersive beaver experiences at the Wallington Beaver Enclosure. We’re excited to continue sharing the evolving landscape and seasonal changes of the Wallington beaver wetland. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE\n\n\n\n– The beaver enclosure features rugged\, uneven terrain\, including some hilly areas that guests must navigate. The walking safari moves at a leisurely pace\, allowing guests to fully experience the diverse wetland environment. If you have any questions about accessibility within the enclosure\, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. \n\n\n\n– The Beaver Enclosure is not located in the main NT Wallington visitor hub\, as detailed on the map. It is approximately a 10 minute drive north. The exact meeting point with directions will be shared upon booking. \n\n\n\n– Pre-booking is essential. Beaver Enclosure Safaris are only suitable for ages 16+. \n\n\n\n– Ticket holders can enjoy complimentary same-day access to the National Trust Wallington estate! \n\n\n\nFor more information please visit the main Mini-Exped page. \n\n\n\nThe reintroduction of beavers at Wallington forms a vital part of the National Trust’s ambition for Wilder Wallington\, to restore native species and natural ecosystem functions across the vast 5321ha estate.

SUMMARY:Dusk Beaver Safari
DESCRIPTION:EXPERIENCE THE TRANQUILITY OF A BEAVER WETLAND\n\nAs the sun sets\, an intriguing creature missing from the Northumbrian landscape for 400 years\, emerges into its restored watery home. \n\n\n\nJoin Wild Intrigue on a Dusk Beaver Safari at the National Trust Wallington beaver enclosure\, to observe the first beavers to have been restored in Northumberland. \n\n\n\nThe Wallington Beavers live in an ever-changing wetland crafted by their own engineering. As aquatic mammals\, beavers need a safe\, watery environment in which to live and raise their young\, which the Wallington Beavers have developed through the ongoing creation of dams.  \n\n\n\nThe behaviour of Beavers differs with each safari\, making this one of our most exciting wildlife experiences. Some evenings the Beavers may be responding to the ‘behaviour’ of water by adapting dams\, digging channels\, and undertaking essential maintenance – and on other nights they might be foraging and socialising. \n\n\n\nThe banks of the burn are carpeted in colourful wildflowers and grasses\, along with regenerated trees such as willow\, which the Beavers forage on throughout the night. \n\n\n\nWith strong social bonds\, family members make time to groom\, play and communicate with one another. Observing these social mammals\, in the wetlands they have carefully crafted\, is one of the most enriching wildlife encounters you can enjoy. We are delighted that this is now possible in Northumberland thanks to the National Trust\, with support from the Reece Foundation and the Beaver Trust. \n\n\n\nFrom a raised position in the landscape\, you will enjoy views of the core beaver wetland amongst a bank of wildflowers. The wetland is home to an array of other species\, including Roe Deer\, Grey Heron\, Badger and Otter – which may also make a special appearance. \n\n\n\nDusk Beaver Safaris will follow the Beaver Trust’s ethical beaver watching protocol\, in addition to Wild Intrigue’s 10+ years of experience in watching and sharing this spectacular species.  \n\n\n\nAlthough every effort has been made to share a successful encounter with the Beavers\, please understand that these are wild animals and views therefore cannot be guaranteed. \n\n\n\nPlease note that this experience is strictly adults (18+) only\, and once entered into the beaver enclosure\, attendees will be required to speak quietly. \n\n \n\nThe reintroduction of Beavers at Wallington forms a vital part of the National Trust’s ambition for Wilder Wallington\, to restore native species and natural ecosystem functions across the vast 5321 ha estate.
