Fertility Social Walk for Women | Haughmond Hill

Join us for a gentle 5km circular walk around the beautiful Haughmond Hill. This is a relaxed, supportive space for anyone experiencing infertility or navigating fertility treatment. There is no pressure to talk, share your story or explain yourself—simply come as you are.

We'll take our time enjoying the woodland trails, fresh air and peaceful surroundings before heading to the café afterwards for anyone who would like to stay for a coffee and cake (completely optional, of course!).

Whether you're looking for conversation, quiet companionship, or simply some time in nature, you'll be warmly welcomed.

Hi, I'm Chrissy, founder of Gather & Roam.

I'm a fully insured and qualified Hill & Moorland Leader with a 16-hour Outdoor First Aid qualification. My passion is creating welcoming outdoor spaces where everyone feels comfortable to explore, connect and enjoy nature.

Having experienced my own fertility journey, I understand how isolating it can sometimes feel. My hope is simply to create a safe space where nobody has to walk this path alone.

Whether we spend the morning chatting, laughing, sitting in comfortable silence, or simply enjoying the woodland together, you'll be very welcome.
