National Walking Month Wellbeing Walk, Hothfield Heathlands

A 4 mile wellbeing focused family walk / amble on and around Hothfield Heathlands, with mindful activities, story telling and lunch stop.

Join Michael, a North Downs Way and GeoPark Ambassador, for a leisurely wellbeing amble on and around the mindful and picturesque Hothfield Heathlands Nature Reserve, as part of National Walking Month. (Children and Families Week)

This is an area rich in flora and fauna, containing the last 4 of Kent’s valley bogs and one of its few remaining fragments of open heath and some stunning Redwood trees.

This is an area, where we will be serenaded by a chorus of songbirds and may receive visits from inquisitive butterflies, bees and other insects, especially on the boardwalks.

This is a leisurely walk / amble for those who enjoy walking while connecting with nature, which will include some optional mindful stops, storytelling, and poetry.

We will also be taking a 45 to 60 minute refreshment and amenities break at The Lake House, Kent Holistic Venue where there are a range of delicious lunches, snacks, pastries and cakes to tempt the palette, plus a small shop full of wellness related gifts to peruse and purchase at your leisure if anything catches your eye.

However if you just wish to take a break, no purchases at this venue are required, there is a very pretty garden with lake to sit by, to rest and have a chat.
