About this Event
Accessing woodlands and green spaces is so important to our mental and physical health, including reducing stress, improving mood, and boosting the immune system.
This walk is a wellbeing walk designed for those who want to make space for themselves to spend time outdoors or learn something new about their local landscape.
Volunteer Alex is an experienced guided walk leader and leads many of our community group sessions. You'll find a warm welcome and lots of knowledge to share.
