2026 Volunteer-led Guided Walks

We will announce walks as they are confirmed.

In previous years we have had walks themed around:

  • Houses of the Woods

  • Bats

  • Trees

  • Fungi

  • Birds

  • History of the Woods

  • Conservation of the Woods

All our walks are free to attend, but we welcome donations to help with the administration costs of running FOW. Walks are advertised to members in the newsletter before being advertised on social media. Find them first on Eventbrite here.

Inspire children with the beauty of nature, from the giant trees to the tiny insects in the woods near Severndroog Castle.

Families with primary-aged children (5-10 years old) are invited to join Sue to explore the woods around Severndroog Castle.

Through lots of fun sensory games and activities the colours, smells and sounds will be brought to life helping us to discover the amazing variety of plants and animals at this time of year.
