About this Event

The meeting point for the walk will be outside the front entrance of Dynamic Earth. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of the walk. Guided walks will be weather dependent and take around an hour and a half. Please dress appropriately and wear walking shoes.

Spaces are limited and although a small allocation of tickets for walk up visitors may be available on the day we would recommend people book in advance to avoid disappointment. We kindly ask you do not book tickets for both the morning and afternoon walks to ensure ticket availability for those who wish to join.
