Wellbeing Walk

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

Step away from the hustle of modern life and join us for a wellbeing walk in the stunning parkland at Lyme.

Whether you want to enjoy being out and about in nature, get active, explore more of your local area or meet new friends, these walks are for you.

21 January: This walk will take in a view of Bowstones Reservoir, and will be approx. 3 miles in length, lasting around 1.5 hours. This will be a challenging walk that deals with steep hills and uneven ground.

19 February: A woodland walk to Paddock Cottage, approx. 2.5 miles in length. This walk will involve some inclines and uneven ground, but is suitable for those who are intermediate hikers.

18 March: A walk to the iconic Cage building, including a stroll around the gardens. This walk will be approx. 2 miles in length and while it will involve some small hills, is suitable for those who prefer a low level of difficulty.

Meet at the kiosk in the car park for 10.30am. The free walk includes admission to the park, however booking is essential as spaces are limited.

We regret that the walks are not suitable for wheelchair access due to uneven ground and steep hills.
