Beavers
Escot's beaver programme is part of an important UK wide project. A two acre enclosure has been created within Escot Park encircling ponds, woodland and a section of stream to home a pair of unrelated wild caught Bavarian beavers, born in the Spring of 2006.
They have set up home in the bank of one of the ponds & we know they have a maternity lodge so hopefully young beavers will eventually emerge and a family colony will develop over the next few years. Recently they have built what is probably the first beaver dam in the south west for 800 years!
Individuals & small groups are invited to evening beaver-watch sessions at which these largely nocturnal animals provide exciting encounters of what was once a common sight throughout Europe. If you would like to book a visit, or sponsor the beavers & follow their progress, please contact Escot on 01404 822188 or email info@escot-devon.co.uk

- Just a note of thanks to you and your staff for making my daughter's wedding so very wonderful. Escot is ‘the' place to be married, the atmosphere, the food and all of the assistance by yourself and staff was second to none. A truly wonderful day to treasure forever.
