Walk with Us
Whether you are looking to get active, enjoy being out and about in nature or meet new friends, our free guided trails are for you.
- Booking essential
- Free event
While Orford Ness is closed to visitors for our winter season we are offering well being walks, weather permitting, on Orford Ness. If the weather doesn't allow us to cross to Orford Ness the walks will take place along the river banks and around Orford village.
Walks take place monthly, with no walking experience required, come and walk with us, breathe in the fresh air and keep your eyes peeled for some of our wonderful birdlife.
Please note this is not a history tour, there will be no access to any of the buildings and no access across the Bailey bridge.
