These Winter day walks will make everyone feel good!
Mottisfont Abbey and Gardens, Hampshire
Wrap up warm and get outdoors to work off all that festive food exploring the grounds of this fantastic house and grounds on an interactive trail. There are lots of fun children’s activities and family days out to enjoy along the way including ‘brussel sprout bowling’!
Ham House and Garden
Dogs are welcome for 12 days from Boxing Day to enjoy, with their families, a delightful stroll around the grounds. Every canine visitor receives a tasty bone!
St James’ Park, London
If you are in the capital for Christmas why not take a walk around St James’ Park? It’s officially the warmest place in the UK with an average temperature of 11.43°C. You can also take a nice route starting from the park, then walk down through The Mall, along Victoria Embankment and return via Birdcage Walk and Buckingham Palace.
New Forest National Park, Hampshire
The New Forest has many, many walks, where the family can explore the stunning landscape. There are a range of different routes that you can choose from that vary in length and difficulty. The children can try to spot some adorable New Forest ponies, cattle and donkeys that live there. An especially lovely walk is the one from Beaulieu to Bucklers Hard and back, a nice gentle walk that follows the Beaulieu River.
Leeds Castle, Kent
Head to Leeds Castle between Christmas and New Year for a fun post Christmas walk which all the family can enjoy! Follow a special trail answering questions about wildlife and nature, and all completed trails are entered into a draw with a chance to win a prize!
Windermere, Cumbria
The Lake District offers an incredible number of different walks from multi-day hikes to walks suitable for pushchairs. The walk that I have found below is an easy walk for the family to try and takes in some of the beautiful scenery around Lake Windermere.
Formby Red Squirrel Walk, Liverpool
This easy walking trail will suit all the family this Boxing Day and as the woodlands are home to the red squirrel, hopefully you will get to see one or two!
Winkworth Arboretum, Surrey
Bring family and friends to Winkworth for a beautiful guided Boxing Day walk surrounded by nature, even the kids will be exploring all day!
Knole Historic Home and Garden, Sevenoaks, Kent
The day after Christmas Day everyone deserves some fresh air including the dog so walk off some of those calories in a guided walk of this beautiful park.
