Nature Walk through Crossness Nature Reserve

Hello and welcome! 🙂

Join us for a relaxed, social walk through Crossness Nature Reserve, a hidden stretch of wetlands and open space along the Thames. With big skies, birdlife, and far-reaching views, it’s an ideal place to unwind, enjoy nature, and connect with others at an easy, unhurried pace.

🌟 What to Expect

• A gentle group walk through nature
• An easy way to meet new people with friendly conversations in a low-pressure setting
• Learn to spot birds, trees, and seasonal changes you might normally miss
• Discover how noticing more in nature can make everyday walks more calming
• Leave feeling refreshed — with new connections to both people and nature

Even if you’ve never thought of yourself as a “nature person,” this is a welcoming, easy way to get started — and see just how good it can feel.

Agenda

• Meet at 11am at the footpath off Norman Road leading to Crossness Nature Reserve. The footpath is Opposite Morgan Pub, Belvedere, DA17, 6BG
• Begin walk at 11:10am
• Walk will end around 13:00pm back at the Footpath off Norman Road, opposite Morgan Pub

To help encourage people to sign up early there are usually some free spaces. After that the usual price will apply. Charging means I can keep devoting time to organising more events. Thank you for your support!

👋 About Your Host – Matt

I work as a doctor in A&E and I’ve always found that time spent outdoors helps me recharge, especially with the pressures of city life and work. I grew up in rural Devon and have spent thousands of hours immersed in nature — and I love showing others how even a short walk in the city can shift your mindset, boost your mood, and help you feel more present.

No need to be a wildlife expert — I’ll point out birds and other wildlife along the way, and you’ll leave with a few simple tips to help you enjoy your own walks even more in future.

This is a welcoming group — whether you come solo or with a friend — and a great way to combine light exercise, real conversation, and a bit of calm in your week.

Hope to see you there!
