All our activities are free. There’s a donations bucket at Nordic walking and Muddy Trainers sessions to help buy new equipment, but there’s no requirement to contribute.
The restaurant at Erddig is open after all our scheduled morning activities, so you can treat yourself to a well-earned treat and get to know new friends.
Whether you're looking for a short stroll past the Cup and Saucer, an 18th-century water feature, or a longer walk through woodland and meadows, there’s a trail to suit everyone in Erddig’s formal garden and landscaped parkland.
For people with reduced mobility, there’s a step-free route around the garden and some parkland trails are also accessible.
Nordic walking is the ultimate full-body workout for people of all fitness levels. Safe and sociable, it helps you tone up while being low-impact on your joints, and it could help ease neck, shoulder and back problems.
Join our volunteer walk leaders for these invigorating sessions on Wednesdays and Saturdays. All abilities are welcome – we provide Nordic walking poles, or you can bring along your own.
Organised and led by a dedicated team of volunteers, Erddig parkrun is a great way to start the weekend and take in the surroundings of the estate.
Parkruns are free, weekly, community 5k events. They happen every Saturday morning at 9am in parks and open spaces around the world. It’s a positive, welcoming and inclusive experience where there’s no time limit and no one finishes last. Everyone is welcome to come along, whether you walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate.
The route starts and finishes outside the house, and includes the newly named ‘Erddig hill’ to challenge yourself along the way. Dogs on short leads are welcome at our parkrun.
If you don’t feel like doing the 5k, you’d be welcome to join us as a volunteer marshal.
