Free Guided Walks at RSPB Pagham Harbour
As part of the Downs to the Sea Project free walks at RSPB Pagham Harbour are being offered to help support people’s health and wellbeing. The walks happen monthly on a Monday and will do so until January 2027, so please come along!
The idea is to take some time for yourself to slow down, listen and learn about what you might see or hear at Pagham Harbour with Kate Drake. Kate is the South Downs National Park Authority Health and Well Being Officer, and RSPB volunteer, so is the perfect person to take you on a gently stroll round Pagham.
Walks will take place on the following Mondays:
6 July
3 August
7 September
5 October
2 November
7 December
4 January
Please meet in Pagham Harbour Visitor Centre reception at 10:50am- the walk will last approximately 1.5 hours.
I don't think you need to register or do anything other than arrive, but if you would like to know more then contact Downs to the Sea on: DownstotheSea@southdowns.gov.uk
