A summary

We meet families outside The Rambler's Retreat, a popular cafe at the entrance to Dimmingsdale. When everyone is ready, we will walk into the spectacular woods together pausing to learn about the flora, fauna and history of the woods. We will walk either along a wide, gentle pathway, or take a more adventurous route uphill through trees with views to Alton Towers, nearby. Our arrival point is a small lake and here we will begin to create land art together, led by James Brunt. We will be spend approximately two hours together walking and creating.

Refreshments are provided.

About your mentor

Greenwood Growth CIC

Immerse, discover, connect in nature.

Greenwood Growth CIC

We work in community woodland offering compassionate support to people focused on connection to self, others and a belonging to the natural world. Over half the population lives within six miles of a forest or small woodland and we think most people don’t visit them at all, or just pass through. Greenwood Growth makes your local space fun, safe and inviting places to spend time. We want to get you amongst the trees to begin exploring and to feel the positive effect on health and well-being for yourself.
