Type: Animals and Conservation
Booking Required: Yes
Join us for a truly breath-taking Winter Solstice experience at RSPB Arne. A unique opportunity to mark the shortest day of the year in one of the region’s most stunning and tranquil landscapes.
The winter solstice marks midwinter - the longest night and shortest day, after which the days begin to lengthen again. What better way to embrace this powerful natural event than by connecting with the peace and beauty of the natural world at RSPB Arne?
We’ll wander through the nature reserve and experience the spectacle of the sunrise over Poole Harbour, gently illuminating the landscape and reflecting in the harbour waters. You’ll be surrounded by the quiet stillness of the reserve as the shortest day begins, creating the perfect environment for reflection and connection with nature.
The guided walk will begin at 7.30am and will wind through ancient woodland and heathland, heading towards the shoreline in time to witness the magical sunrise over the harbour. Along the way, our guide will share insights about the wildlife and landscape of the reserve to add to this special experience.
This is a wonderful opportunity to slow down, embrace the serenity of the season and celebrate the winter solstice in a truly memorable way.
Booking essential please.
