A led walk around the grounds of Hartham Park for blind and partially sighted people. Where the walker will be accompanied by a sighted guide, the name of the guide should be included as the additional walker in the booking. Volunteer sighted guides may be available; prior to booking please contact: chair@corshamwalkingfestival.org.uk to discuss support arrangements. Refreshments (at walker’s cost) at the Forge and Pheasant.

The walk at Hartham Park will be an easy stroll around the newly created permissive path around the Hartham grounds.  Please park in the large Courtyard where there will be plenty of space and where your leaders will meet you. 

This easy and gentle walk will include information about the 1000 years of history of Hartham Park, given by one of the leaders at various points.  Hartham Park was recorded in the Domesday book. There are lovely open views from the path plus many interesting facts about Hartham. The Grade 2 listed Sticke Tennis Court, one of only 3 remaining in the world is of particular interest and we can have a quick peek inside. 

After your fill of history we can go to the café, The Forge and Pheasant, or sit in their outside area, and have the chance to buy ourselves lovely refreshments as our reward.

Please wear sensible footwear, such as boots or stout shoes, as some of the paths are grassy and may be a bit uneven, there is a gentle slope up to the Sticke Court.  Bring a walking pole or stick if you usually use one.  This walk should be enjoyable for all and quite leisurely.
