Hardwick's walk with us Volunteers are here to ensure you have a comfortable and enjoyable walk come rain or shine! Have a look and see what their top tips are for enjoying the Hardwick parkland:
Wear the correct footwear for the terrain and weather and use a stick they are not just for old people! Make sure to have either energy, sweets, biscuits, nuts or a chocolate snack will do the trick. Take time to savour the views whilst breathing deeply, I find this very relaxing. - Billie, Walk Leader
My top tip is to engage all the senses when you walk and embrace whatever the weather is doing. Go out in the rain or on a cold or windy day and notice how the weather brings different sights, sounds and feelings. - Graham, Walk Leader
