About the event

Come and join our volunteer Zelda on a guided walk around the stunning Sparham Pools, enjoying its flora and fauna along the way. This is a leisurely walk around this beautiful man-made freshwater habitat in the Wensum valley. Catch a glimpse of a Banded Demoiselle, spot a Great Crested Grebe and admire an island of water lilies.

This is an informal walk aimed at people who don't have much knowledge of nature and wildlife but would like to learn more.

Please bring binoculars if you have them and please wear walking boots / shoes as the paths around the lake can get muddy.

Please note that all under 18 year olds must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
