Creative Walks: Nature Journalling 1

Overview

Creative Walks are a series of walks throughout the New Forest aimed at connecting people to nature and each other through creative activities including photography, sketching, creative writing, outdoor dance and much more! Be inspired to start a nature journal filled with drawings, paintings, thoughts or observations. It can have lots of words or no words. You decide what you are going to record and how to record it. Nature journaling is creating just for fun and there are no rules! It’s suitable for everyone and benefits include helping us relax, practice self-care, boost confidence, learn about the natural world, embrace mistakes, experiment and try things out. No experience is necessary and the walk is open to all. We will pause regularly to engage with our coastal surroundings and explore exciting creative journaling prompts and techniques. Meet next to The Kiosk at Hordle Cliff West car park. From here, we’ll continue along the cliff top as far as The White House. There is a long gentle slope down towards the White House, although this is less than 5% gradient. There are bench seats at frequent and regular intervals all along the coastal path, as well as shelters with seating. After reaching The White House, we’ll make our way back to The Kiosk.
