Walk Description:

Our Special adventure walks are a great way to discover some new areas and visit places with the group. Today we are off to NT Stourhead for our fix of Autumn Colours as well as a fanststic 6 mile walk.

This is NOT a technique walk but an enjoyable walk to enjoy this new area. It is social and fun.

Suitable for all levels.Some gentle hills may be included.

TODAY WE HAVE A SPECIAL OUTING TO STOURHEAD HOUSE AND GARDENS.

You are able to meet us there or share a lift from Marlborough.

Please note if you are not a National Trust member it is £16.60 to enter the house and gardens. We could walk around the outskirts of the property if not enough have NT cards.

Refreshments at the property cafe.

There is a small surcharge for monthly members on this walk to cover extra time of the walk and then need to recce the walk before the date.
