Sensory Walks
Connect with the forest through our Sensory Walks
Going for a sensory walk helps you get outside, be active and connect with nature
We’ve teamed up with Sense to create and map new Sensory Walk routes in our forests. Let the sounds, sights and smells of the forest reduce your stress, stimulate your senses and spark your imagination.
Each route is an accessible walk and we’ve worked with Sense to highlight key sensory points along the way for you to enjoy.
