Overview

NOTE CHANGE to start of walk.

This is a short walk through woodland and park. Some parts are very muddy underfoot, so hiking boots are essential. Please check the website the night before in case of any updates.

Catch the Purple route Supertram from Cathedral at 10:12. The walk starts at 10:35 from Leighton Road tram stop. At the finish there are buses into town from Woodseats.

Route: Walking via Lightwood we'll admire the bluebells in Newfield Spring Wood, Long Wood and Coalpit Woods, then a bit of road walking takes us via Jordanthorpe into Graves Park, and finally down to Woodseats via Bolehill (Cobnar) Wood. (Click on the small map to enlarge it and see the route.)

Anyone joining the group for the first time, please get in touch with the leader in advance.

No dogs please.
