Events
During Spring, Summer and Autumn there will be at least one heritage event and one wildlife event each month. In addition our conservation work continues throughout the year.
Booking is advisable for all the walks. All walks normally last approximately 90 minutes, but the Titanic walks are longer as more graves are visited. Good shoes are recommended, and if possible, a donation is very welcome.
