Wednesday Nature Walk - Parke
A free and friendly volunteer-led walk around the beautiful Parke Estate.
- Booking essential
- Free event
These friendly group walks are led by two of our wonderful team of Community Walk Volunteers, who will guide you across the beautiful and varied landscapes of the Parke Estate. These walks are an opportunity to get out into nature, share the wonder, and meet other like-minded people. They are perfect if you prefer not to walk alone, or if you need some gentle motivation to get out into the fresh air. Look out for other dates as we add them through the year. Social walks take place about once per month on a Wednesday, and regular Sundays. You may also be interested in some of our themed walks.
