Guided Nature Walks for Parents & Carers

Feeling overloaded, overwhelmed and in need of a breather? Join our 1-2hr guided walks for parents and carers to get into nature with a small supportive group. The walks are led by trained health practitioners and will take place at local nature trails around Bristol and beyond; Snuff Mills, Ashton Court, Chew Valley and more! This is an adults only group for parents to benefit from time with those “who get it”.

The walks aim to improve wellbeing through:

• connection with nature
• safe space to talk to others
• relaxation and mindfulness
• self care advice

Each walk includes:

• Free transportation from Eastville Park.
• Refreshments.
