Nature Mindfulness Walk in Warley Woods

The start point is Warley Woods Car Park, 101 Lightwoods Hill, Smethwick B67 5ED. Meet under the trees to the left of the pedestrian gate to the park. Please aim to arrive 15 minutes before the start of the event i.e. 10.15 am. This will allow time for check-in and access to on site facilities.

The Pavilion is within the Warley Woods Car Park. The building has toilet facilities, a shop which includes refreshments and an independently run cafe.

Warley Woods car park is next to the golf course, it can become quite full. However there is plenty of free parking on the roads around the edge of Warley Woods, including a layby area near the Water Tower. Please allow time for the possibility of alternative parking and the walk to the start point

This event has an age restriction of 16+ years. However we do run Family Nature Mindfulness events too - please check Eventbrite for advertised events.

Sorry No. Nature Mindfulness events are not a suitable activity for the presence of dogs. Please contact Wonder in Nature to discuss options if you depend on an assistance dog.

We will be walking up small hills and on uneven, occasionally muddy ground. Please wear sturdy footwear. No open toe shoes. Please bring layers to keep you warm in the shade and a rain proof jacket if rain is predicted.

No. There will be opportunities to take some photographs. But as the activities will be mindful in the present moment we may suggest these are taken between group activities.

A picnic would be a lovely idea for after the Nature Mindfulness session. The Nature Mindfulness Walk will end in the Warley Woods meadow area, which is open grassland surrounded by trees and offering plenty of benches.

Refunds can be given for cancellations notified more than 7 days before the event. Alternatively you could pass your ticket on to someone else (please inform us in advance of their name and email address and mobile phone number).

If you are unable to make the event it may be possible to transfer to a new date if requested more than 7 days before the event. Alternatively you could pass your ticket on to someone else (please inform us in advance of their name and email address and mobile phone number).

Weather is very much a part of nature. Events run in all weathers except high winds, extreme cold or lightning. If extreme weather forces cancellation, we will give as much notice as possible and offer alternative dates. If none of the alternatives suit you, you'll be offered a full refund.

Walks are typically around 1 mile. Walking is done very slowly and mindfully so no real exertion involved, even if going up hill!

The walk will be led slowly with plenty of resting time observing nature. However the route will be off main paths with some uphill slow walking. The terrain is likely to be uneven with the need to be mindful of any trip hazards. If you have limited mobility please consider suitability for you.
