Route

To make sure everyone's included, there are two routes to choose from on the day of Memory Walk.

The shorter 3.5km walk is a gentle stroll around the park, famous for its tree lined avenues, which is suitable for Memory Walkers of all ages. This route is suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs with assistance.

The longer 9km walk is a little more challenging, and will take you into the ancient Whippendell Woods, winding through woodland paths and up some hills.

This route is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs due to the nature of the pathways.

Please note the route and distance is subject to change, and suitable footwear is recommended.
