About this Event
Join Simple Therapy for a winter walk at Walthamstow Wetlands, exploring the longer circular route around the reserve.
We'll spend a few hours walking alongside the reservoirs, taking in the open views and seeing what wildlife we can spot along the way. It's a lovely opportunity to explore one of East London's most interesting green spaces, enjoy a change of scenery and get out for a good walk.
Whether you're coming on your own or with someone else, you're very welcome.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- A longer circular walk exploring Walthamstow Wetlands, covering approximately 7km.
- Beautiful winter scenery, open water and opportunities to spot local wildlife.
- A relaxed, friendly group with time to walk, talk and enjoy the surroundings at a comfortable pace.
WHAT MIGHT YOU SEE?
- Birdlife: Winter waterbirds, ducks, geese, herons and, if we're lucky, a kingfisher.
- Open water: Peaceful reservoir views, reed beds and surrounding wetland habitats.
- London skyline: A different perspective of the city alongside the natural landscape.
Wildlife sightings will depend on the day and season, so there's no guarantee of what we'll spot.
