Autumn weekly wellness walks

Explore the local landscape on this free 6-mile walk, taking in the sights, sounds and seasonal beauty of the area. Prefer a gentler pace? A shorter route is also available, perfect for all abilities.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Stretch your legs and lift your spirits on the fourth Monday of every month as our volunteer walk leaders guide you along local public footpaths around Sandilands. This 6-mile walk is a wonderful way to explore the changing landscape, enjoy the crisp air, and take in the seasonal sights. Prefer a gentler pace? A shorter route is also available, perfect for all abilities.

We recommend sturdy footwear, as the terrain can vary on the longer walk. Well-behaved dogs on short leads are very welcome.

This walk is free, and donations are warmly welcomed. Every contribution helps us care for Sandilands and support its transformation into a thriving nature reserve.

Times

The basics

Meeting point

Meet our volunteer walk leaders near the carpark at 10am.

What to bring and wear

Suitable outdoor clothing and sturdy walking boots or shoes are recommended. We'd advise bringing a drink too.

Accessibility

Thanks to new hard-standing paths and boardwalks, the shorter route is fully accessible and suitable for all abilities. The longer walk includes some inclines and uneven terrain, which may be muddy after wet weather, so sturdy footwear is recommended.

Upcoming events
