Signs of Spring Walk

Walk whilst taking in our natural surroundings and observing the many signs of spring. Create a natural artwork with found materials along the way and enjoy a brew back at The Vale.

As part of Greater Manchester Walking Festival we’re leading a walk to engage in nature as we walk. Join Jayne to walk whilst taking in our natural surroundings and observing the many signs of spring. Create a natural artwork with found materials along the way and enjoy a brew back at The Vale.

The route for the walk goes up Castle Hill and then onto a rougher uneven path, over Moor Edge road, and back down to Huddersfield road, with a short walk back to the Vale.

This is approximately 1.7mi / 2.8KM long and can take just up to 2 hrs.

These times depend on the walkers and how they engage with their surroundings.

Clothing: Sturdy shoes for any uneven ground, weather appropriate clothing as it may be sunny, rainy, windy etc.

What to bring: You shouldn’t need anything with you for this walk but you may wish to bring a small bag to collect natural materials for an artwork, a notebook and pencil to draw anything you see, a camera to capture the day, and any personal items you’d usually carry with you.

Young people:
Families and young people are very welcome on the walk. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult and are the responsibility of their parent/guardian at all times.
