Pushchair-friendly walks Enjoy the outdoors together on a route suitable for pushchairs. We'll look for accessible paths and interesting things to discover along the way.

English conversation in nature Practise your English while exploring the natural world. We'll use the things we see and hear to build nature-related vocabulary and get conversation flowing in a relaxed, informal setting.

The Forest for Beginners Curious about the Forest but not sure where to start? Discover the trees, plants, fungi and wildlife around you, and learn to notice the details that make a woodland come alive.

Sacred Places of the Forest Discover some of the religious heritage of the Forest. Explore wayside shrines, sites of former abbeys and other places of worship and reflection. Learn about the people, traditions and stories that have shaped these places, and discover how faith and the Forest have been connected through the centuries.

Valleys and Memorials Explore valleys, their landscapes and their history, including memorials that tell stories about the people and events that have shaped the area.

These are just a few possibilities. Tell me what interests you, when you'd like to walk and how many people will be joining you. I'll suggest a suitable route and two or three possible starting times. No fixed schedule, no need to join a large group — just a walk arranged around your interests.

I'm usually available on Saturdays, morning and afternoon. Wednesday afternoons are also good, other days (not Mondays) possible.

Walks are generally around 2 hours/6km in length, although that very much depends on the group. It costs €30 for 1-3 people, €10 per person thereafter, so a group of 6 would be €60. Maximum group size is 10. The money raised helps support a cat refuge in Waterloo, Felis Felis.
