May Half Term - Guided walks for National Walking Month
Fancy a good dose of fresh air and stunning scenery? Then, why not join us this half term for a series of guided walks across the beautiful Downs landscape?
- Booking essential
- Admission applies
There are few things as good for the soul as getting out into nature, especially at this time of year when the Downs is full of life and beauty.
This half term we'll be running a series of morning and afternoon guided walks, led by our team of rangers, staff and volunteers, with something for everyone to enjoy.
The walks provide an opportunity to immerse yourself in the local history and wildlife and meet new people.
Scheduled walks include:
Wildflowers & Butterflies (23rd May);
Tree Cathedral History walk (25th May);
Five Knolls medieval history walk, with some bird spotting along the way (26th May);
Kids orienteering & exploration walk (27th May);
Adults wellbeing walk (27th May)
Please note, while children are welcome on all walks, with some scheduled to last around two hours, we advise parents / guardians to use their own discretion. The exploration walk on the 27th is the most suitable for children, as it is shorter and specifically tailored for younger ages.
