Overview

PLACES ON OUR WALKS MUST BE BOOKED IN ADVANCE.

A short winter walk at a slow pace through Piccotts End and Gadebridge Park, giving a chance to admire the recent work on changing the course of the River Gade. The walk is mostly on paved surfaces and there are no stiles or steps. There is an opportunity to join us at the end of the walk for tea/coffee/cake in the cafe at the garden centre.
