Walk With Us - Tramper Friendly Trail
Looking to get active in nature, explore more of the landscape, or meet new people?
Join a free, guided group-walk as part of the new 'Walk With Us' series at Woodchester Park. This route is specifically designed to be tramper-friendly.
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.

A route that descends down into the valley crossing the series of lakes next to the Kennels before circling back towards the Boathouse. At the Boathouse there is space to turn around before returning via a higher path to rejoin the route next to the Kennels.
