Gentle Stroll: Woodland and Heathland
Share in the joy of the season alongside old and new friends with our circular route around the diverse habitat of Whipsnade Heath.
- Booking advisable
A chance to connect with others and the liveliness of spring after the sleepier months of winter - don't miss out on this seasonal celebration with diverse wildlife, wildflowers and bulbs (we might even be lucky and catch a sight of the dimming carpet of bluebells).
The route will take the group on a circular route around Whipsnade Heath, part of the wider Dunstable Downs Estate. With an interesting mosaic of grassland, scrub and woodland, there will be fun facts on our unique landscape, nature, and habitats along the way.
Part of the Spring 2024 Chiltern's Walking Festival.
Adult tickets are £4, children £2. Under 5s go free (no ticket required). Please book ahead as there will be limited availability on the day.
