Northam Burrows Events 2009

Another exciting array of free events is planned this summer on Northam Burrows.

Head Ranger Shawn Corin and his team will be running events for children throughout the summer holidays including a Treasure Hunt, a Prehistoric themed crafts afternoon and a sandcastle and sculptures afternoon.

The ranger will be at the meeting place whatever the weather. Please wear sensible footwear and suitable clothing, especially for seashore activities.

Walks and activities are free of charge but there is a toll for vehicles entering the country park.

Children should be supervised by an adult as the rangers cannot take responsibility for their care.
