Step into the breath taking beauty and raw power of nature with Wildlife Photographer of the Year – the world’s most prestigious photography exhibition, now celebrating its sixty-first year.

This globally acclaimed showcase features 100 awe-inspiring images that reveal the hidden stories of our planet’s wildlife and comes to Bristol from the Natural History Museum in London.

Selected from over 60,000 entries submitted by photographers of all ages and backgrounds from 113 countries and territories, these photographs are more than just stunning visuals – they are windows into the complex, fragile, and magnificent ecosystems we share. From intimate glimpses of rarely seen animal behaviour to sweeping landscapes that stir the soul, each image invites you to reflect on your connection to the natural world.

This year’s exhibition is a powerful call to action. Through the lens of the world’s finest nature photographers, it highlights the urgency of conservation and the beauty worth protecting.

Whether you’re a photography enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply curious, Wildlife Photographer of the Year promises to inspire, provoke, and ignite a deeper appreciation for the planet we all call home.

Don’t miss this unforgettable journey into the wild.

How do I join the walk?

Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.

On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there. 

If sharing lifts passengers are expected to contribute towards petrol costs. Please bring coins or be prepared to make a bank transfer. As a guide, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car. 

How do I know what to bring? And am I fit enough?

We provide a full recommended kit list here.  Please do bring water, a rainproof jacket, walking trousers (or similar) and walking shoes/boots – avoid jeans and trainers.

Walks are graded as either 1 boot, 2 boot or 3 boot.  Read more about choosing the right walk for your fitness level here,
