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 be restored in Northumberland. \n\n\n\nThe Wallington Beavers live in an ever-changing wetland\, crafted by their own engineering since their introduction in July 2023. 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 we may encounter more 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 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\nIf you would like learn more about Beaver ecology\, history and the species’ restoration\, whilst exploring the Wallington enclosure and architectural Beaver features at a closer range\, take a look at our Beaver Enclosure Safaris which take place during the day (whilst the beavers are asleep in their lodge!) \n\n\n\nDusk Beaver Safaris are hosted in partnership with the National Trust. The 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.  \n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE \n\n\n\n– This experience is strictly adults (18+) only and once entered into the beaver enclosure\, attendees will be required to speak quietly and follow the advice of their Wild Intrigue guide. \n\n\n\n– Terrain features rugged\, uneven terrain\, including some hilly areas that guests must navigate.  \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. Public transport is not available to this part of the estate. \n\n\n\n– There are no toilet facilities at the enclosure.

SUMMARY:Night Out with Nightjars
DESCRIPTION:Evening of Awe in the Enchanted Forest\n\n\n\nAs the sun dips below the horizon and twilight descends upon the forests of the Tyne Valley\, the nocturnal world awakens. Among the creatures that stir\, one enigmatic bird has captivated human imagination for millennia—the elusive Nightjar. \n\n\n\nThese cryptically camouflaged birds undertake a remarkable journey\, migrating thousands of miles from Africa to our heathlands\, forests\, woodland edges\, and moorlands during the summer months. They return to Northumberland in May\, only to migrate back to Africa with the onset of September. \n\n\n\nAdorned with enormous\, otherworldly eyes\, mysterious whiskers known as rictal bristles\, and wide mouths\, Nightjars are perfectly adapted for their nocturnal lifestyle. Shrouded in mystery and superstition\, these birds have woven themselves into the very fabric of folklore. From the ancient myth of sucking goat’s milk—earning them the moniker ‘Goat Sucker’—to being revered as Odin’s night Ravens\, Nightjars have both created fear and inspiration through the ages. \n\n\n\nOne of the most enchanting experiences of the Nightjar encounter is their unique song—known as churring. As darkness envelops the forest\, the male Nightjar’s continuous\, mechanical churring sound fills the air\, an eerie and mesmerizing serenade that can last for minutes on end. This rhythmic\, otherworldly sound resonates through the stillness of the night\, creating an at \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNight Out with Nightjars experiences will take place within 10 miles of Corbridge\, exact meeting location will be provided upon booking.

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 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 have 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\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– Dogs are not permitted on this experience. \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 be restored in Northumberland. \n\n\n\nThe Wallington Beavers live in an ever-changing wetland\, crafted by their own engineering since their introduction in July 2023. 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 we may encounter more 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 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\nIf you would like learn more about Beaver ecology\, history and the species’ restoration\, whilst exploring the Wallington enclosure and architectural Beaver features at a closer range\, take a look at our Beaver Enclosure Safaris which take place during the day (whilst the beavers are asleep in their lodge!) \n\n\n\nDusk Beaver Safaris are hosted in partnership with the National Trust. The 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.  \n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE \n\n\n\n– This experience is strictly adults (18+) only and once entered into the beaver enclosure\, attendees will be required to speak quietly and follow the advice of their Wild Intrigue guide. \n\n\n\n– Terrain features rugged\, uneven terrain\, including some hilly areas that guests must navigate.  \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. Public transport is not available to this part of the estate. \n\n\n\n– There are no toilet facilities at the enclosure.

SUMMARY:Ouseburn Bat Safari
DESCRIPTION:Discover Ouseburn’s nocturnal neighbours\n\nJoin Wild Intrigue on an urban wildlife safari to discover the intriguing nocturnal wildlife of Newcastle-upon-Tyne’s lush Ouseburn Valley. \n\n\n\nSetting off at sunset with bat detectors in hand\, Wild Intrigue will guide you on a journey to track bats down as they emerge from their roosts for ‘breakfast’. Bat detectors bring a whole new level to spying on these elusive mammals\, allowing you to eavesdrop on their ultrasound clicks\, slaps and pops as they hunt and communicate with each other. \n\n\n\nThese amazing mammals have cruised our skies for tens of millions of years – way before the first humans took their first steps. Join us to find out all about the bizarre anatomy and curious ecology of some of our longest-evolved mammals\, right here in the city. \n\n\n\n100% of Ouseburn Bat Safari ticket sales go directly into community rewilding project Wild Ouseburn\, to help better understand and protect bats in the Lower Ouseburn Valley. \n\n\n\nThere are plenty of wild encounters to enjoy in northern England\, explore our full collection here.
