Join our Walk Leaders for one of our rambles around the park. This activity is free but please book a space so we know how many walkers to expect. Check times and dates and book your space.

Coming to Attingham for the first time or looking for a new way to explore the estate, try joining one of our friendly volunteer-led walking groups. These groups are designed to accommodate all ages in a friendly and relaxed environment with the aim of helping people to explore Attingham’s outdoors! Whether you’re doing the walk for fitness, wellbeing or simply to get outdoors, all are welcome to come along.

Our walks are all set in Attingham’s roaming parkland, with friendly volunteers to guide you along the route. Make sure to take time to savour the sights and smells of the park’s changing seasons, whether that be along the River Tern or in our diverse woodland. These walks are a great, sociable way to explore the outdoors and are completely free to signup to, which also gives you free access to the site.

Opening up the Attingham Estate 

We have identified an area of the Estate that we plan to open up to provide more access to the outdoors for walking, cycling, running, and other activities. The proposed new outdoor activity area will be in a separate part of the Estate from the current area accessed by visitors.
