Join us on this free family friendly walk from Sowerby Bridge Family Hub to Allan Park, a fab green space above the town.

Are you looking for new and exciting walking routes that are also child-friendly?

Then why not join our Walk Leaders as they guide you on this 3.2km walk (2 miles) around Allan Park.

Allan Park is a fab green space on the hill behind Sowerby Bridge train station. With rocks to climb on, bushes to play in, and winding paths to explore, there's a lot to do.

The route will head up through the park, to the hillside above with a great view back over Sowerby Bridge, and plenty of farm animals to see before heading back down to the playground. There'll be a Nature Scavenger Hunt, and older children will have the chance to practise simple navigation skills.

Due to the hilly route and mixed terrain, the walk is suitable for children of walking age, ideally age six and over.

Meeting Point: Jubilee Refreshment Rooms, Sowerby Bridge train station, Station Road, HX6 3LB

Meeting Time: Please arrive at 10.30am, where there will be chance to grab refreshments before setting off . The walk should last take around 2 hours, factoring in some time for playtime at the end! Please bring your own lunch and water for the walk.

Please Note: We're asking for a small £1 deposit to reserve your place on the walk. Don't worry, you'll get this back when you attend. The deposit helps reduce no-shows and ensures places aren't left unused.
