Guided Walks
We host guided walks around Wolsingham and the surrounding area on the second Saturday, last Thursday, and last Sunday of every month. All welcome, and walks are free to join (booking/bus fare may be required for Thursday walks). Meet us at 10am in Wolsingham Market Place for Saturday and Thursday walks. Check the schedule for the starting point for Sunday walks.
Most of our walks are easy to moderate. Thursday walks have the gentlest pace. Sunday walks are usually longer and a little more strenuous.
Well behaved dogs are welcome, but be aware that we often encounter livestock on our walks. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
