Join us on this amazing walk as part of the Walking Festival 2026!

Get ready for a magical introduction to the world of botanical folklore and the wonderful stories that surround some of our plant life. Guided by a member of our Outdoor Learning Team with a passion for the topic, we will wind along the river, looking for species associated with this habitat, discussing both historical and modern-day beliefs and mythology.

This walk will be taken at a leisurely stroll with regular stops to speak about the species we spot along the way.
