I really enjoyed Badger Alley, but I was disappointed to not see any badgers. All in all it was a good experience. A tip for the more adventurous: if you come out of the alley and turn right, there is an even better alley! Enjoy!
I frequent Badger Alley & it has certainly lived up to it's name in the past. In 2025 it has been more Fox Alley, I hope to spot plenty of both in the future. 🦡
Don’t they have something a bit less badgery?
