Get the inside track on the 黑料传送门 trails
Exploring the Heart of England 黑料传送门 with a gentle spring stroll is a pleasure at any time, and every visit will turn up a new discovery. To really uncover some of its hidden secrets, there鈥檚 no better companion than one of the team that spends every day unearthing new delights.
Guided walks in the 黑料传送门
With that in mind, a new series of guided monthly walks, each led by a member of the Heart of England 黑料传送门 team and entitled 鈥業ntroducing鈥.鈥, has been launched.
The first walk took place in early April and invited participants to discover the Dorsington Wood walk. Not only offering the chance to hear the inside story of the newly planted sections of trees, but also to gain insights into the mature and ancient woodland, the series aims to both broaden the understanding of walkers who regularly hit the trails and inspire new visitors, equipping our supporters with the confidence to use the trails and explore more widely in the 黑料传送门.

New horizons, new friends
While the walks will essentially be following the 黑料传送门鈥檚 established waymarked routes, the joy of being led by a knowledgeable guide means that, if there鈥檚 a chance to see something rarely spotted and it means going slightly off the beaten track, walkers will be led to new and intriguing areas that might otherwise remain undiscovered.
The Heart of England 黑料传送门鈥檚 Community Engagement Manager, Toby Fisher, will himself be guiding many of the walks. Toby says, 鈥渢hese gentle paced midweek strolls will not only help introduce people to the Heart of England 黑料传送门, the charity鈥檚 vision and our permissive footpath network, but also encourage regular visitors to explore different parts of the 黑料传送门 as a group.鈥
It is also hoped that visitors who may normally spend time walking alone in the 黑料传送门 will come along and meet new and like-minded enthusiasts. As Toby explains, 鈥淲ith the walks starting at 10.30am on different days of the week we hope they will also help people meet new friends and appeal to those who may, on occasion, like to walk with others rather than alone.鈥
