Red Squirrel Hide
Photograph Red Squirrels from England's only purpose-built photography hide located in the Yorkshire Dales. The hide can accommodate up to four persons and offers a fantastic opportunity to see and photograph squirrels at close range in a natural setting.
The hide is located near Hawes in North Yorkshire, approximately 45 minutes from the A1 to the east and the M6 to the west.
Visits to the hide are by pre-booking only and cost £60 per person per session (you should be prepared to spend up to five hours in the hide). Lenses from 200mm up to 500mm are ideal.
The hide has been purposely designed to enable comfortable photography with windows offering views of perches on three sides. At the front of the hide there are dual height windows which allow for shots of Squirrels on the trees and taller perches and ground shots/lower perches.
The Squirrels at the hide are very reliable and anywhere between one and six may be present at any one time. However, these are wild animals and there are sometimes (very rarely) no-shows. This can be due to adverse weather conditions for example and no refunds can therefore be given.
Other animals you can expect to see are Roe Deer, Rabbits, woodland birds from Great Spotted Woodpeckers to Siskins, Stock Doves, Tits and Finches and occasionally more elusive creatures like Stoats, Sparrowhawks and Owls.

Please note that one or two person bookings do not guarantee exclusive use of the hide and other photographers may be present if they request the same date.
NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER? I can also offer 3 hour accompanied morning visits for those just wishing to see Red Squirrels and other woodland animals at close quarters. The visits are £85 per group of up to four persons. Please contact me for further details.
