A MAGICAL event will be held at the Lickey Hills Country Park tomorrow (Saturday) to celebrate National Walking Month.
The guided walk with park rangers will explore ‘Myths, tales and fairies: stories of the woods’, a nature trail, and Japanese forest bathing, which helps participants explore the mental and physical health benefits of being among trees.
The event, between 2.30pm and 3.30pm, is free of charge.
The ‘One Big Walk in the Park’, organised by ParkLives and Birmingham City Council, will offer some unusual activities for all the family.
Steve Hinton, Park Ranger at Lickey Hills Country Park, said it could be difficult for people to find time to enjoy their local park but simple walks were a great way to spend more time outdoors and stay active at the same time.
“Our walking sessions led by Friends of Lickey Hills on Thursday mornings are always very popular with local residents and I’m hoping that ‘One Big Walk in the Park’ at Lickey Hills Country Park this Saturday will encourage more people to get involved.”
Those participating in tomorrow’s walk can simply turn up at the Visitor Centre, Warren Lane, at 2.30pm or visit parklives.com to book a place.
