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 provide a friendly and relaxed way to discover Attingham’s parkland. Whether you’re doing the walk for fitness, wellbeing or simply to get outside, everyone is welcome.

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 rich woodland. These walks are a great, sociable way to explore the outdoors and are completely free.
