Walks
The guided walks we are offering this year are set out on this page. We have tried to be clear about the length of each walk, the time it might take, the stiles and obstacles that may be encountered along the way. But in the end it is for you to be sure that you only sign up for walks that you are comfortable you can do; the guides have volunteered to lead walks, but they are not responsible for checking that you are fit enough, appropriately dressed or otherwise capable of completing these walks. Please read and be aware of our Terms and Conditions before booking to join any walk.
Walks can be booked by visiting the 'Book' page and following the instructions there. We do not guarantee that you will be able to join a walk without prior booking, as it will depend on numbers. Online booking will close at the end of the day before the walk departs.
If you prefer not to join a guided walk, why not come along to Somerby during the Festival and try some of the routes independently? Come and see us at Somerby Memorial Hall to say hello.
