New DEEP ‘virtual’ walking group

(Weather Permitting)

Wollaton Park Every Tuesday 12 midday to 1pm

Join us for a walk in 2020

The #walk1000 miles group challenge, inspired by Country Walking Magazine who have donated walking trackers and Virgin Pulse who are providing us with some fitness trackers for people living with dementia. We will be recording a combined mileage to reach as many miles as possible in 12 months. You can join organised walks, arrange your own walks or just record all your steps at home. We have some step counters available for people and we will help you to record your steps and miles. You can register online, by email, phone or just ask one of our team to do this for you. Once you have signed up, we will let you know about organised walks, events and if you need a step counter let us know. We have a limited number available but, will try and get more if people are interested.

‘’Here at Country Walking magazine we’re thrilled DEEP is taking on the #walk1000miles challenge – an epic journey that begins right at your door.’’

‘’Virgin Pulse is delighted to be supporting Trent Dementia in getting people more active with the help of our Pulse trackers.’’

Wollaton Hall and Deer Park

Please note that our platform lift is currently out of order. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Situated on a natural hill, and built between 1580 and 1588, is one of the country's finest Grade 1 listed Elizabethan mansions.

Located within the hall is the Natural History Museum housing wildlife exhibits and collections of rare and unique curiosity.

Set within 500 acres of rolling parkland, the site allows visitors of all ages to experience beautiful architecture and exciting exhibitions year round.

The park's dramatic natural beauty is host to many wildlife habitats including wetlands, grasslands, woodlands and avenues of ancient trees.

Herds of red and fallow deer roam free across the grounds and the lake creates a dramatic contrast to the stunningly situated hall.

In the grounds is the Camellia House, the oldest cast iron glasshouse in Europe.
