It’s now officially The Wildlife Trusts’ #BigWildWalk 2023 (16th-30th October)!
It’s not too late to sign up to fundraise as part of Big Wild Walk and explore our wild world whilst fundraising to protect it. It doesn’t have to be a huge hike, it can be climbing the height of a mountain on your stairs or simply walking at your local park or nature reserve!
In the spirit of all things active and autumnal, we asked staff what their favourite reserves were for a peaceful walk. Below they have listed their firm favourites and the exciting wildlife they have seen there.
Longworth Clough
0.5 miles north west of Egerton, Bolton, Lancashire, BL7 9PU
Longworth Clough is my favourite as it is large and has a feeling of remoteness that I don’t think you get on many of our reserves. The ponies are also a big plus as they let me stroke them, eventually. We have a lot of work to do there, but I’m glad as I love spending time there.
