Join us every month on a gentle-paced 2.5 mile walk, with an emphasis on enjoying time outdoors in nature.

Starting out on the red dotted footpath leading from the Quarry Visitor Centre on the map below, we walk along the woodland path, around Kiln Lake, then back via the causeway. We then follow the same red dotted route back to the centre. Along the way, we take regular stops to look at the wildlife visible on the reserve and to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Walking this route each month enables us to explore how the reserve’s flora and fauna change throughout the seasons.
