NWR Walk
What is the NWR Walk?
An annual event for members to encourage connection – from a small group of members to larger multi-group gatherings! In 2025, we are walking during May to coincide with National Walking Month.
You choose the route and the distance. Many walks end with a visit to a pub or tea room! All are welcome to join, including non-members.
Please share your adventures with a nice photo or two, either in our member only Facebook groups or with the office, ensuring you have permission from those in the images. We will feature as many as we can in our publications.
Some of our previous walks!
We hope you can join this year!
The NWR Walk 2024 – Looking After Our World
The 2024 walk took place from Saturday 20 April to Friday 3 May.
We invited members to do their bit to help the environment as they walked. They had litter-picking ‘womble walks’, contributed to a survey of wildlife by reporting ancient trees or species of wildlife, or were simply aware of the impact we have on the environment – do you use refillable water bottles? Do you car share where possible?

The NWR Walk 2022
The inaugural ‘NWR Walk’ took place in the first two weeks of October 2022. Thank you to everyone who took part and contributed to the incredible 4891 miles collectively walked, surpassing by a huge margin the original target set – the 628 mile distance between our most southerly group, Roseland in Cornwall, and our most northerly group, Bridge of Don in Northern Scotland.
What did we do?
We asked NWR members go on a walk together (it was up to them where and how far they walked) and record how many miles (or part of a mile) they walked.
The only rule – at least two NWR members must be on the walk. Non-members were welcome to join you – in fact, we encouraged it as an opportunity to spread the word about how great NWR is.
