Step into the great outdoors and embrace the autumn with guided Park Ranger walks at the Green Flag Award-winning Sconce and Devon Park, and Vicar Water Country Park. Open to everyone, these walks offer a fantastic opportunity to explore the district’s natural beauty.
Each month, a new route is organised around Sconce and Devon and Vicar Water Country Park. Participants can explore the parks’ natural environments, while Park Rangers share fascinating insights about the nature and wildlife that can be spotted. Discover what this season brings to the area and get answers to any questions about the incredible biodiversity and wildlife that thrive there.
The guided walks offer a fantastic chance for anyone eager to learn more about the nature and wildlife in the district. Whether you’re already well-versed in the local environment or just beginning to explore it, expert Rangers will ensure everyone discovers something new! They are also a great way to stay updated on park events and developments, ensuring local communities remain well-informed and engaged.
To cover a variety of routes in both parks, and to suit a range of residents, the walks will rotate in length from short, to medium to long each month.
Guided walks at Sconce and Devon Park will take place on the first Tuesday of every month, while Vicar Water Country Park’s walks are on the third Tuesday of every month, both from 9.00am to 10.30am.
Everyone will meet at each park by the Park Ranger’s office next to the Rumbles Café. To take part, booking is required through the Council’s website:
