OUT AND ABOUT WITH WILDLIFE 2026

Now the days are getting perceptibly longer, albeit slowly, so perhaps thoughts are starting to turn to the longer, warmer – and, hopefully, brighter and drier – days when we can get out for long walks in the countryside. With that in mind, we are delighted to launch this year’s Out and About with Wildlife Programme, our programme of guided walks around some of the loveliest areas in Rushcliffe.

Just follow the link to get your copy of the programme, and don't forget, every walk is free!
