Sensory walks

Going for a sensory walk helps you get outside, be active and connect with nature

We’ve teamed up with Sense, a national charity supporting everyone who is deafblind or has complex disabilities, 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.
