- Guided Walk 14:00 pm
Join a gentle guided walk around Mount Batten as we capture the sights and sounds and reflect on our connection to the sea, engaging with nature and using our senses to tune into the world around us. This walk offers a chance to pause and notice our surroundings, connect more deeply with place, and share stories and memories with one another.
The walk will begin at the Car Park across from the Mount batten Centre, where we will meet at 14:00. From there, we’ll walk down together onto the breakwater and continue along it, before gently making our way back up and along the beach.
Everyone is warmly welcome and encouraged to join. The first section of the walk along the breakwater is suitable for wheelchair users and pushchairs.
