Walk With Us - Walking the Trust10
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.
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, 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.
Walking the Trust10 | 6.2 miles (10 km) | Ascent 879 metres
The Trust10 is a 10k trail run on the 4th Sunday of every month for visitors to take part in. But if running isn't your thing why don't you come to walk the route instead? If you fancy a longer, more challenging length then this route is for you. A circular walk that spans the whole park, approximately 6.2 miles (10 km), starting and ending at Tinkley Gate. A total ascent of around 879 metres.
The terrain is mixed throughout: compacted stone surfaces, woodland tracks and grassy paths. A few steeper sections with a short series of steps and some gates, but there will be plenty of places to pause to take it as slow as needed.
