Walk with Us on Orford Ness
Whether you are looking to get active, enjoy being out and about in nature or meet new friends, our free guided walks are for you.
- Booking essential
- Free event
Join our volunteer guide for a free wellbeing walk on Orford Ness.
Everyone is welcome and you don't have to be an experienced walker to come along - please just dress appropriately for the weather.
This guided walk follows a set route and depends on weather and ground conditions with no wider access to other areas of the site. If wind speeds are too high to access Orford Ness by ferry, we'll host the walk landside instead.
