On the last Thursday of every month, join a social walk - a great opportunity to meet others and build confidence outdoors.

Social Strolls

Free, friendly walks for anyone short on time, company, or confidence.

Part of the Pebblebeds for All initiative, join one of our welcoming social strolls on the beautiful Pebblebed Heaths or Otter Estuary. These relaxed group walks take place on the last Thursday of every month, offering a great opportunity to enjoy new routes, meet others, and build confidence whist exploring the outdoors.

What to expect:

A friendly, inclusive group atmosphere

Gentle walks through scenic landscapes

A chance to develop new habits and enjoy nature

Suitable for most fitness levels – please check the walk grading for details on individual routes.

A varied circular walk from Wheathill Car Park on woodland tracks, heathland paths, with two road crossings. Well-defined routes with some loose stone and gentle cambers lead through scenic woodland, opening to views across farmland towards Shortwood Common and includes a section alongside Squabmoor Reservoir.

This event is not a guided walk but rather an opportunity for people lacking in confidence walking outdoors on their own, out of the habit, or simply want some walking companions to join our social strolls.

Booking in advance is recommended and if spaces are still available, we will do our best to welcome walk-ins on the day. Please arrive early so the walk coordinator can check everyone in.

Pebblebed for All is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to run these events.
