The Saturday Walks section meet up most Saturdays for a gentle walk, exploring the local sites and the natural history. The walk is always at a gentle pace and should pose no physical problems for the majority of people. Unless otherwise stated, there is no need to book – just turn up, enjoy the fresh air and experience the fascinating views and sites around you.
