Wildlife Walk

An activity with Hollybush Wildlife Walks

Activity date: Monday 28th July 2025

Start time: 11:00
Finish time: 13:00

Activity description

Every Monday the Wildlife Walkers gather to take a walk in one of the wonderful parks and nature reserves of Leeds. The walks aim to be accessible for a range of abilities, with regular routes planned to include at least one wheelchair accessible option a month. The group includes plenty of time to appreciate and identify nature along the way. The routes are usually between 1 and 2 miles, with a cup of tea and a snack provided along the way.

Meeting place

The project takes place in a different location each week. Before joining this group, please contact Hollybush on hollybush@tcv.org.uk or 0113 274 2335 to meet with a member of the team to sign up for the walks. We will then get told the planned walks and meeting points a month ahead of time. Each walk will be planned to be accessible by bus, with public transport information shared with you. If it would be easier for you to get to Hollybush, then there will be a small number of lifts available to the start point of the walk. The spaces are limited in the van, so please contact the walk leader to make sure that there is a space reserved for you.
