About this event

Discover more of Woodchester Park and enjoy getting active outdoors with our series of free, guided group-walks. A relaxed and sociable way to explore the park beyond the waymarked trails, following quieter paths and taking in changing seasonal views along the way. Each walk is led by a trained walk leader and supported by walking volunteers, who will guide you at a pace to suit everyone so you don't need to worry about getting left behind! Walks vary in length and terrain depending on the route, but the emphasis is always on enjoyment rather than distance or speed. Please see the route description for more information below. These guided walks are free to attend and open to all. Whether you join for a single walk or attend regularly, this is a chance to explore Woodchester Park together. Boathouse Loop | 3 miles (4.5km) | Ascent 135metres The Boathouse Loop is a circular walk of approximately 3 miles (4.5km), starting and ending at Tinkley Gate. It follows much of the purple waymarked trail through Woodchester Park. A total ascent of around 135 metres. The route showcases woodland, open valley views and the historic boathouse, giving a chance to appreciate both natural and designed features of the landscape. The terrain is mixed throughout: mainly over compacted stone surfaces with some woodland tracks and grassy paths. A few steeper sections and one kissing gate, but there will be plenty of places to pause to take it as slow as needed.
