A Sunday morning woodland walk in Holmfirth celebrating Samhain, bringing in the first day of winter

The Walk

Come join us for a Sunday morning woodland walk in Holmfirth celebrating Samhain, bringing in the first day of winter.

This walk will start in Holmfirth, meeting at Bjorn Cafe on Hollowgate and take us on a winding walk up to Hades Forest. This is a magical place where the mushrooms thrive and where flora and fauna reveal the changing of the season in a quiet and beautiful way.

There will be an opportunity to collect fallen leaves, branches, nuts, seeds and gather any items that you may want to bring indoors to celebrate the end of the harvest and the start of winter. (please do not take any live cuttings or organic matter directly from trees, plants and bushes)

The walk is approximately 5-6 miles. Uphill for the first half and down on the return. This would be classed as easy to moderate. We will be out on the hills for around 3hrs. As always come prepared for the winter weather and terrain, bringing snacks and hydration for your walk.
