10k Nordic walk and picnic

Calling all Nordic walkers...

We warmly welcome you to join Rachael and Vicky on this lovely circular walk from Clifton Down in celebration of World Nordic Walking Day.

We'll begin with the much loved route across the Downs and gentle climb to the Observatory, stopping to enjoy the views before winding our way downhill through Clifton Wood to the gorge. Explore some of the bridges and enjoy one of the best views up the gorge before crossing the river to Leigh Woods. There's one long climb up beautiful Nightingale Valley, but you can take it at your own pace and our picnic stop will be at the top.

The route back will be mostly flat, crossing the Clifton Suspension Bridge and passing Clifton College on our way back to the start. The distance is roughly 10K (6.25 miles)

Non-Nordic walking friends are welcome, but no dogs please. Don't forget to bring your picnic lunch, snacks and drinks as we'll be stopping along the way. There are public toilets at roughly 1/4 and 3/4 through the walk.

If you've any questions or would like to borrow poles please contact Vicky ([email protected]).
