A gentle, accessible walk on the London Road campus
Event Navigation
Join us as part of Reading Walks Festival 2023
We are delighted to be taking part in the first ever Reading Walks Festival. We are offering two gentle, accessible walks in and around the museum and its immediate surroundings on campus. The first is this Five Ways to Wellbeing Nature Walk, and the second is a Mindful Museum Walk on Friday 12th.
About the walk
“Every human being needs to be in a positive relationship with nature at some level.”
During this walk led by Charlotte Allchin, an Environmental Educationalist who specialises in connecting with nature, we will explore the green spaces and beautiful trees on the University of Reading’s London Road campus starting and ending with The MERL garden.
This walk is designed to support the Five Ways to Wellbeing and will be gentle, suitable for all abilities, and will provide space to learn, take notice, connect with nature and each other.
