These walks are in the Rathdrum area and are 3km - 5km in duration.

These walks are physically beneficial but they are also developed to help

people relax in the outdoors and experience an activity in a group. The walks will encourage people to look at surroundings in a way they may not have been aware of and integrate poetry and music into people’s everyday experiences.

Adults of any age are welcome, the walks are gentle and the experience will be

inclusive led by poet Jane Clarke who has extensive facilitation and community

engagement experiences. The walks will also be accompanied by a

steward.

The walks are designed for adults and have moderate terrain underfoot. They are not

suitable for buggies or toddlers, but babies in slings welcome. Please wear waterproof clothing and suitable footwear.
