Join us for a walk

Our Monthly guided walks take place on the 2nd Saturday of every month leaving Wolsingham Town Hall in the Market Place at 10am.

Something for Everyone!

All guided walks are circular and are between 5 and 10 miles in length. They are open to anyone able to negotiate countryside obstacles such as stiles and gates, and the occasional muddy patch!

Let's Stick Together!

We set off as a group, and we walk as a group! so the pace is set by the slowest walker. Our Walk Leaders take regular stops to allow the back marker to catch up. Once everyone is ready, we set off again - as a group!

(...we also stop for a picnic break at the halfway point so don't forget your snack!)
