A short stroll from Vine Road Pavilion out onto Barnes Common and back. Recognise the sights, sounds and smells of nature around us!

During this walk participants will learn about the history and ecology of Barnes Common and the work that we do to protect it. There will be regular stops and some sensory linked activities. The pace of the walk will be slow and relaxed and people can chat and socialise throughout.

• Older people looking for a gentler, shorter experience in nature
• Any adults with disabilities or other additional needs
