Discover more of Woodchester Park and enjoy getting active outdoors with our series of free, guided group-walks.
A relaxed and sociable way to explore the park beyond the waymarked trails, following quieter paths and taking in changing seasonal views along the way.
Each walk is led by a trained walk leader and supported by walking volunteers, who will guide you at a pace to suit everyone so you don't need to worry about getting left behind!
Walks vary in length and terrain depending on the route, but the emphasis is always on enjoyment rather than distance or speed. Please see the route description for more information below.
These guided walks are free to attend and open to all. Whether you join for a single walk or attend regularly, this is a chance to explore Woodchester Park together.
