################# **This trip is now full, but there's still time to join us this Sunday for a trip to Wales!** 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 **👉 Book your spot here:** [https://www.meetup.com/londonsocialhiking/events/313927812/](https://www.meetup.com/londonsocialhiking/events/313927812/) **We’ve created a list of [FAQs](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e4VGmwhurmCng2cY3ZJHOS4j9ZlWKaX1/view?usp=sharing) to help answer your questions.** ################# Join us on a new **wildlife trip** to the **world's only managed colony of Mute Swans**! I visited the Swannery last year and was so captivated that I knew I had to organise this trip for the group – something fresh and truly special, even for those of you who have been on many trips before. Nestled in a picturesque setting alongside Fleet Lagoon on the stunning Jurassic Coast, **Abbotsbury Swannery** is widely regarded as one of Dorset's most unforgettable wildlife experiences. **April is a magical time to visit:** the swannery is at the height of its nesting season, with hundreds of Mute Swans incubating their eggs. You will have the rare privilege of **walking among them and their nests remarkably close** – an experience that never fails to leave a lasting impression! The **daily mass swan feeding** **takes place at noon** and you're very welcome to take part and feed the swans yourself. With **up to 600 Mute Swans** jostling and flapping for their share, it is an unforgettable spectacle. The swannery has a rich and fascinating history, having been founded over **600 years ago by Benedictine monks** who originally bred the swans for food. Today the swans are fully protected. Film enthusiasts may also recognise the site from its appearance in ***Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince***. After visiting the swannery, we'll head to the popular **seaside resort town of Weymouth** for lunch. You'll have free time to explore its picturesque historic harbour, stroll along the beautiful **three-mile sandy Weymouth Beach**, recognised as one of the best in the UK, and simply relax by the sea. Finally, we'll head to see the **huge chalk figure** carved into the hillside, depicting King George III on his horse. Weymouth was the king's favourite holiday destination, and his patronage transformed the town into a fashionable resort that did much to popularise sea bathing among the upper classes. This trip is a **relaxed day out and suitable for everyone** – it's a great chance to experience new places that we normally don't have time for on our hikes! 🤩 **ITINERARY** **07:45** Meet outside Hotel Novotel London West, 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (a five-minute walk from Hammersmith Station) **08:00** Sharp departure **11:15-13:00** Abbotsbury Swannery – home to the world's only managed colony of Mute Swans.

Passing the grand **Moor Park House**, we reach the evocative ruins of **Waverley Abbey**, England’s first Cistercian monastery founded in 1128, and the nearby **Waverley Abbey House**, set beside a tranquil lake. The trail then brings us to **Tilford village**, a picture-perfect English setting with a cricket pitch, riverside pub, and two medieval stone bridges across the **River Wey**. Continuing on, we pass an **800-year-old oak tree** of remarkable size and a nearby farm where pigs — and often piglets — can be seen in the fields. Next we enter the **Bourne Woods**, an enchanting mix of heathland and coniferous forest. Here we actually pass through **specific filming locations** used in *Gladiator, Robin Hood, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, War Horse* and more than 20 other films.

################# **Join us on a trip to the English-Welsh border – this time of year is particularly special, with carpets of bluebells and wild garlic filling the ancient woodland! 💜** **We’ve created a list of [FAQs](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e4VGmwhurmCng2cY3ZJHOS4j9ZlWKaX1/view?usp=sharing) to help answer your questions.** ################# Join London Social Hiking on a trip to the heart of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty! The Wye Valley is well-known for its beautiful river landscapes, dramatic limestone gorges, native woodlands, impressive geology, historic hill forts, castles and abbeys. On this trip, we'll discover the River Wye – Britain's fifth longest river and certainly one of the most scenic. Much of the lower length of the river defines the border between England and Wales. We'll be hiking in Wales, with England on the other shore! We'll do two short hikes, taking in the highlights of the area. On our first hike, we'll visit the famous viewpoint at Symonds Yat Rock. This limestone outcrop is perched 120 metres above the River Wye and provides spectacular views of the river snaking its way through the gorge. The pleasant woodland trail will take us through nature reserves to the limestone rock towers of the Seven Sisters and the dramatic King Arthur’s Cave, which provided a refuge for mammoths, hyenas and rhinoceros in prehistoric times. We'll cross the Indiana Jones style suspension bridge and also pass the distinctive red and white house, which famously featured in the Netflix series “Sex Education” (Otis's and Jean's home). After resting and having lunch and hot drinks, we'll take a short drive to the start of the second walk. This hike features the picturesque viewpoint known as the Eagle's Nest. The Eagle's Nest boasts unrivalled views down the Wye Valley to the rocks of Wintour's Leap, Chepstow, the Severn bridges and the estuary. The superb woodland path will lead us along the edge of an escarpment to the extraordinary Giant’s Cave and the Grotto, before finally descending to Chepstow and its beautifully preserved, 11th-century Chepstow Castle. This trip is suitable for **reasonably fit BEGINNERS** – a great way to experience hiking before joining our more difficult hikes! 🤩 **ITINERARY** **07:45** Meet outside Hotel Novotel London West, 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (a five-minute walk from Hammersmith Station) **08:00** Sharp departure **11:00-13:30** Symonds Yat Rock, King Arthur's Cave and the Seven Sisters walk (difficulty: [Moderate](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BMjvqhAAdSeCdyzLPHs0z04_e2TiKdci/view), distance: 7km, ascent: 280m) **13:30-14:15** Lunch near Symonds Yat Rock Café **15:00-17:30** Eagle's Nest, Wyndcliff, Lover's Leap and the Giant's Cave walk (difficulty: [Moderate](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BMjvqhAAdSeCdyzLPHs0z04_e2TiKdci/view), distance: 6km, ascent: 150m) **17:45** Departure **20:30** London, Hammersmith **TRANSPORT** As on most of our trips, we'll travel in a comfortable 16-seater minibus. **SAFETY** This hike is led by an experienced, Outdoor First Aid qualified hike leader. **BOOKING** To keep ticket prices down and avoid PayPal/Meetup fees (£7 extra per ticket), we kindly ask for payment by bank transfer.

We are taking on 18 miles along one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the UK. Think sea air, big open views, quiet chats as we walk, and that steady rhythm you only get on a long hike. It is not just about the distance - it is about the experience. The moments where the group spreads out, then comes back together. The snack breaks that somehow taste better by the sea. That feeling when your legs are tired, but your head feels clear. **The plan:** Distance: 18.5 miles Difficulty: Hard Time: 8–9 hrs Train tickets: purchase off-peak return to Eastbourne with national rail card. OR wecq get a group ticketket on a day. Sea views + cliffs + iconic Kent coastline We will start in Deal and follow the coast towards the cliffs, moving at a steady, social pace. There will be time to pause, take it in, and enjoy it — no rush, no pressure, just a shared challenge. By the end, you’ll have walked 18 miles, met some great people, and probably feel a little different than when you started (in a good way). **Bring:** * Comfortable walking shoes / boots * Water and snacks * Weather-appropriate clothing **⚠️ Important: Refund Policy & Weather Notice** This hike runs rain or shine. No refunds are available, but spots can be transferred with 48 hours’ notice. Are you in? Spaces are limited - RSVP now!

Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in! We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind. If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward.
