Frequently asked questions

Is the walk difficult?

This is not a race or a competition. The walk is a gentle, family friendly route which include hard standing paths too. Walk the full distance or make it shorter - a map will guide you and our friendly stewards will be on hand to offer directions.

Is the route suitable for wheelchairs or buggies?

The grassed route is not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers but those who wish to enjoy taking part in the day can use the many hard standing paths on the route.

Is there any free parking?

Parking is free at Stockwood Park and there are ample spaces.

Will there be any food or drink?

We highly recommend that walkers bring their own bottle of water and a snack. Limited supplies of free bottled water will be available on a first come first served basis. Additional refreshments can be purchased inside Stockwood Park's Garden Cafe, open until 4pm.

What should I wear?

Wet or dry weather, the walk will take place come rain or shine! We encourage all walkers to be mindful of the weather before heading out and ensure that you wear light layers, bring a waterproof jacket and wear comfortable shoes for walking.
