Powderham Castle Naked Heart Walk 2026

Your visit will offer:

· Parking. (Included)

· A 5k (aprox) walk to raise funds for The British Heart Foundation. (Included).

· An optional shorter, more level walk for those with mobility difficulties. (Included)

· An optional longer walk, (For an additional payment).

· A yoga session. (Included).

· Refreshment shop. (Additional payments).

· An optional Afternoon Tea in the Castle. (Additional payment).

· Access to all the gardens for you to stroll around until closing time. (Included)

The Walks

The 5k walk can be rather challenging in places with one particular steep climb. The terrain can be rough in places and soft in others so a less challenging shorter option is available. Alternatively, a longer 10k more challenging walk is also available for a small additional payment. Stout footwear is advisable.

The Yoga

A FREE yoga class will be held at 13.45 in the Old Riding School, or outside if the weather is suitable. Please bring a yoga/exercise mat for the class, and a towel or blanket to cover yourself when we are resting.

You are welcome to wear as little or as much as you want for this activity, but make sure it's something that you can move freely in. The class will be about 50 mins long so that you will be finished in time for the optional Afternoon Tea. It won't be a strong class so if you've never tried yoga then this could be a good opportunity.

The Challenge

Leave your clothes behind and feel the breeze on your skin as you raise vital funds for the British Heart Foundation.

The Naked Heart Walks are organised by British Naturism to raise money for the British Heart Foundation and all participants will receive:

• A certificate at the end of the walk. Opportunity to purchase a BHF medal (£5)
• A fundraising link and regular emails to keep you on track.
• Full support from the British Heart Foundation to help you reach your target.

Why not make use of the Just Giving page set up for you, and send details of it to all your friends, family, and contacts so they can donate and sponsor your amazing Naked Walk? Don’t be shy about it. Be brave and tell as many people as you can. It’s surprising how many people will donate to such a well-known, deserving charity, when they know you are doing something, which to them seems, ridiculous. Be BOLD!’

The British Heart Foundation

Heart and circulatory diseases are the world’s biggest killers, and they can affect any of us, including you. But thanks to the research that the British Heart Foundation is funding, there is hope. By backing the brightest scientific minds, we have the power to find treatments and cures that could make the difference between your parents living to old age or not, your friend making it to graduation or not, your sister being a phone call away or not.

This event is a bold one, just like our ambition to fund the science that keeps millions of hearts beating. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for signing up for the Naked Heart Walk and fundraising.
