Wellbeing Walks
Get out in the fresh air, re-connect with nature, and stretch your legs on one of our free volunteer-led group walks.
- Booking essential

Join us for a gentle wellbeing walk through some of Lyme's most beautiful autumn landscapes. Taking in the open views from Cage Hill and the peaceful woodland trails of Elmerhurst Wood, this guided walk offers the chance to slow down, connect with nature, and enjoy the seasonal changes of the countryside.
Make sure to bring a pair of binoculars just in case we’re able to spot Lyme’s historic red deer herd grazing and rutting in the landscape.
Each walk is approximately 2 miles (3.2km) and lasts 1.5 hours. These walks are led by volunteers, please note that some of the walks can be challenging and include uneven terrain and ground conditions. Each walk travels a different route through the parkland taking in the wonder of the landscape and seasons.
