Social Strolls – Four Firs via Uphams and Crook plantations

Social Strolls Free, friendly walks for anyone short on time, company, or confidence. Part of the Pebblebeds for All initiative, join one of our welcoming social strolls on the beautiful Pebblebed Heaths or Otter Estuary. These relaxed group walks take place on the last Thursday of every month, offering a great opportunity to enjoy new routes, meet others, and build confidence whist exploring the outdoors. What to expect:

• – A friendly, inclusive group atmosphere
• – Gentle walks through scenic landscapes
• – A chance to develop new habits and enjoy nature
• – Suitable for most fitness levels – please check the walk grading for details on individual routes.

Meeting at Four Firs car park, we will take a circular stroll taking in both open heathland and wooded plantations. Walking on well-defined paths there is a varied mix of terrain of grass footpaths along with shingle and loose pebble paths. There are beautiful and far-reaching views across Woodbury common at several vantage points along the route. It is an area rich in wildlife, fauna and archaeological history. There is a steady climb by Uphams plantation.   Event Details
