Autumn Footprints walking festival

The annual Autumn Footprints walking festival in Amber Valley is back from 12th – 27th September!

With 24 FREE walks to choose from of varying lengths, difficulty, topics and locations, you are bound to find the one perfect for you.

From easy strolls for the whole family on flat ground to brisk hikes through the rolling hills, we have something for everyone – and dogs are welcome on many walks.

All walks are led by knowledgeable local volunteers who will give you insights into the heritage, history and points of interest along the way.

You can attend as many walks as you want, so take a look and book your place.

Nature activities

We know the value of people coming together in the great outdoors. Being in green spaces has been shown to have positive impacts on the mental health and well-being of people of all ages.

Through our free outdoor events for all ages, we provide a supportive environment that encourages socialising, while also giving people the chance to escape the stress of everyday life and connect with nature.

Groundwork Five Counties looks after over a dozen green spaces across the East Midlands, ensuring they are open and accessible to everyone. If you would like to volunteer with us, click here.
