Join us for a relaxed guided nature walk, jointly hosted by the Little Ouse Headwaters Project and Diss & District Rotary Club.
Come and explore the rich and varied beauty of the valley along the Little Ouse River. Along the way, you’ll learn about this unique landscape, the conservation work taking place, and discover some of the wonderful flora and fauna that call this special place home.
This gentle circular walk will be at an easy pace and last approximately 1-1 ½ hours.
For those looking for something a little different or the option of a shorter walk, there will also be an optional Sensory Walk. With guidance, participants can choose to walk blindfolded and fully immerse themselves in nature - experiencing the sounds, textures, and scents of the environment, from birdsong to leaves and wildflowers.
Wellies recommended. No need to book, just turn up.
Well behaved dogs on leads welcome.
