Overview
Join us for a Poole’s
Cavern exclusive, with our BRAND-NEW Guided Woodland
Walk in Grin Low Woods.
Please note that our
woodlands are situated on a hillside, and some parts of the route will be more
strenuous than others. We recommend that this route is not suitable for
families with young children, or if you have any underlying medical conditions linked
to breathing, or your ability to walk a far distance. If you would like to get
in touch regarding the terrain, or if you have any questions about the
suitability of the walk for yourself or someone else in your group, please do
not hesitate to reach out to our team.
Explore the ‘Hidden
History’ of the Buxton landscape, and learn all about how the woodland and
cavern’s history are more interlinked than you might imagine! With separate
stops throughout, your guide will lead you on a journey exploring the old
quarries, the protected wildflower glades, as well as showcasing the
conservation work the BCA undertake. See first-hand the work
that we do to promote microenvironments throughout the woodlands, encouraging
nature to make it their home. Whether you’re new to the area, or if you’ve
visited before, our guided woodland walk promises to show you the woodlands
from a whole new perspective
Leaving from Poole’s
Cavern visitor centre, your expert guide will lead you through the woodlands
and across all three of our marked woodland trails. This walk is expected to
take 90 minutes, taking you across all the different terrains that can be found
in the woodlands, with the paths underfoot varying. Sensible walking boots
or sturdy trainers are required.
The Guided Woodland Walk
will be leaving at 11:00 promptly, so please make sure that you are at
the visitor centre at least ten-minutes before departure to be checked in. If
you are late, we cannot guarantee that you would be able to head into the
woodlands and join the group. This walk will take place come rain or shine, so waterproofs
are recommended. This walk will not be cancelled in the event of bad
weather, and therefore these tickets are non-refundable.
We are excited to open
this experience up to our visitors, and we hope you are too! If you have any
questions about the Guided Woodland Walk, its suitability, or any future
events, please get in touch.
Each ticket includes a FREE copy of Wildflowers in Grin Low (BCA).
