About the event

As part of the 'Reuniting Sydenham Hill Wood and Dulwich Wood' project, we are offering free guided woodland walks for the local community. This warm invitation is for residents of Lordship Lane, Sydenham Hill, Countisbury House, Kingswood Estate, Peckarmans Wood, Crouchmans Close and Crescent Wood Road.

Explore this woodland haven for wildlife & let your feet - and your mind - wander. Guided mindfulness activities will invite you to slow down, ground yourself & be fully present, tuning into the rhythm of the trees & the wonders of the wildlife around us. Research shows that spending time in nature can boost our mental health, reducing stress & improving mood. By noticing the small details, pausing to breathe & connecting with the natural world, we give ourselves space for calm, clarity & renewal. This gentle wander is designed as a soothing wind-down, leaving you refreshed & rooted in the magic of the woods.
