About
A gentle, twice-weekly 90-minute walk around the reserve, with pauses to enjoy the views and sit on benches before an optional café chat and cuppa.
These easy-paced walks make plenty of stops to enjoy the reserve views and benches, then finish with an optional café chat and drink. The currently dated Tuesday listings give 10:30–12:00 and the Wednesday listings 13:00–14:30. General weekly information on the Tuesday pages also mentions Wednesday 13:30, so confirm the Wednesday time with the organiser before visiting. Keep dogs on leads near grazing animals.
