A relaxed, beginner-friendly guided walk through Macclesfield Forest. This forest route offers fresh air and a supportive, unhurried pace, perfect for those wanting to enjoy walking without pressure.
The route starts with a steady uphill and it then flattens as we enjoy walking through the beautiful energy of the forest, surrounded by trees and fresh air.
This is a free community walk for adults aged 50+, led at a steady, comfortable pace with plenty of time to pause, chat, connect and take in the views.
The walk is around 5km, will last about 1.5-2 hours and it is designed to feel welcoming, sociable and confidence-building.
This walk is free and funded by The National Lottery, supporting accessible outdoor activity and wellbeing.
