Overview

Join us for a refreshing circular walk starting and finishing at Penn Woods, perfect for a bit of Saturday morning exercise in the fresh air. The route takes us through a varied landscape of peaceful woodland paths and open countryside views, with a lovely section passing through Winchmore Hill.

This walk is designed to be steady and energising rather than rushed, giving everyone a chance to enjoy the surroundings, chat, and blow away the cobwebs. Expect uneven ground in places and, depending on recent weather, some muddy sections.

What to know:

Good sturdy footwear recommended (it may be muddy)

Bring water and any snacks you may want

No planned lunch stop

Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a lead at all times for the comfort of the group

A great way to start the weekend with fresh air, gentle challenge, and good company. 🌿🥾
