About this Event
🌿 Walk: Chorlton Water Park & River Mersey
Join us for a gentle walk session through the green spaces of Chorlton Water Park and the River Mersey.
This route follows peaceful waterside paths, woodland trails and open meadows, offering an opportunity to slow down, step away from the pace of everyday life and spend time in nature with others.
Moving at an easy pace, we’ll take time to pause, notice the changing landscape around us and connect with the sights, sounds and rhythms of the natural world.
Part way through the walk, we’ll settle into a quiet spot for some herbal tea.
