Whether you are an amateur walker or an experienced walker, make sure you sign up to one of the ‘led walks’ that have been organised across the area by Craigavon Borough Council’s Recreation Department – for free!
Thirteen walks have been organised in a variety of picturesque locations between now and the end of the August. They also vary in length from under two miles to almost five miles meaning there is one to suit everyone.
Walks will be led by trained walk leaders, accompanied by a nature/conservation expert who will explain the wonder that is our environment, will include refreshments and also provides the opportunity to meet other people who may be potential walking ‘buddies’ for you in the future.
These walks are all free of charge however, booking is essential to ensure there is an adequate number of leaders and refreshments.
