Join Ranger Lauren for a bug hunt across the Western Heights. Exploring different areas of the site we will try to find as many different creepy crawlies as we can, ticking them off on our spotter sheet as we go! Lauren will be on hand to help you with your identification and will provide bug hunting equipment to help you get closer to your finds.

The bug hunt will take you across the Western Heights from St Martins Battery view point to the Drop Redoubt where we will need to navigate uneven paths, narrow tunnels and steps and will be approximately 2km long walk.

This free event has been made possible with support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery players, supporting English Heritage’s Reaching Greater Height Project & Dover District Council’s Historic England funded ‘Western Heights Heritage and Regeneration Project’.
