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.

Meeting at Four Firs car park, we will take a circular stroll around Blackhill Quarry and back again.

Walking on well-defined paths there is a varied mix of terrain of grass footpaths along with shingle and loose pebble paths. There are beautiful and far-reaching views across Woodbury common at several vantage points along the route. It is an area rich in wildlife, fauna and archaeological history. There is a steady gentle climb by Blackhill Quarry.

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. 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.
