Free weekly guided walks guided to rebuild fitness while spending social time in the beautiful forests of Haldon.
Join Haldon Forest Park (Forestry England) each Monday at 10:30am for an gentle walk in the woods! Occasionally we are joined by guest speakers or guides for themed walks too on subjects such as forestry, mindfulness and fossils.
We offer these free walks to help support visitors who are looking to improve their health and fitness or for anyone feeling isolated who would like to meet new people.
These slow paced walks last approximately an 90 minutes each and include hills (though we take our time and there are plenty of views to enjoy).
The distance and difficulty of each walk will be pitched at the lowest ability of those attending that week, please don’t be discouraged to attend if you think you will be the slowest – it really doesn’t matter! It’s all about being outside in good company getting some exercise 🙂
These walks are free of charge as they are supported by Forestry England’s “Active Forest” campaign.
Please park in the main visitor car park (hourly charges apply or become a Member for £40 per year with free parking). We will gather in front of the Visitor Information Point for a prompt start at 1030am.
Off-road mobility vehicles “Trampers” can be hired from the Countryside Mobility Scheme for these sessions if required – please arrange this in advance with the Rangers haldon.rangers@forestryengland.uk 0300 067 5826.
