A Walk in the Park - Stopsley Common & Hay Wood
About the event
A Walk in the Park is a programme of easily accessible walks for all ages running monthly in Luton (every first Wednesday of the month).
A Walk in the Park provides an opportunity to:
- Boost your health and well-being whilst taking a short walk around a natural space and practice some mindfulness in nature.
- Explore green spaces in Luton.
- Meet like-minded people and make new friends.
Learn about the natural world and opportunity to share your own knowledge or experiences.
The aim of the programme is to encourage exploration of scenic parks and green spaces right on your doorstep, at the heart of Luton.
The walks will be led by staff of Wildlife Trust Bedfordshire and volunteers.
All ages welcome!
Join us for a walk at Stopsley Common and Hay Wood.
We’ll meet at 2:00pm just outside the main entrance of Inspire, before setting off on a gentle circular walk to explore the signs of spring along the way. Our route will take us across Stopsley Common, into the ancient woodland of Hay Wood where we hope to spot bluebells, and on to the far end of the Common near Bradgers Hill. We’ll then turn back and finish the walk for 3:30pm.
If using What Three Words website or App then please use the following location ///safely.quarrel.cape for the meeting point.
There is a car park outside Inspire: Luton Sports Village where you can park free of charge for first 4 hours.
Please dress for the outdoors, including suitable footwear for soft paths.
The accessibility at Stopsley Common can be limited due to uneven/muddy paths and some steep slopes along the way. Please get in touch if you have any mobility concerns or questions about the walk.
