Dorset - The Reptiles & Amphibians of Britain

Summary

On this 3-day holiday we will base ourselves around some of the most successful reptile and amphibian conservation efforts in the south of England, making exciting excursions to seek Britain's most beautiful and elusive native reptile and amphibian species, as well as visiting established colonies of superb introduced species.

From our base, at the very comfortable and charming Mortons Manor in the picturesque town of Corfe Castle, we'll join Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust (ARC) experts to search beautiful habitats in search of such reptiles as the stunningly marked Adder and the splendid Sand Lizard, and amphibians such as the rare and beautiful Great Crested Newt and Natterjack Toad. ARC was established in June 2009 with the mission of conserving Britain’s amphibians and reptiles, and the habitats on which they depend. The charity manages 80 sites, owning 24 of these, and we'll have the privilege of exploring some of their most productive reserves to find and study their fascinating inhabitants.
