Outdoor Programme 2026

Tuesday May 19th 2026 - Abbots Wood - Neil Greenaway

At 10.00am on Tuesday 19th May we have a spring walk in Abbots Wood, Led by Neil Greenaway
This is planned as a walk of exploration and should be a delight at this time of year. We will follow a fairly short route through the ancient trees of this woodland, taking in open glades and the lake.
There will not be a formal guide, so members will be encouraged to use their observational skills to see what they can find and identify. We are hoping for spring flowers, new leaves on the trees, insects (and particularly butterflies if the weather is kind). There will be birds and if we are lucky we might hear the nightingales.
We will mostly be following well worn footpaths, but we expect them to be rough, with plenty of trip hazards and if there has been recent rain, I can guarantee mud. There are no steep hills, or stiles and the route will be around 2 miles long.
Parking will be in the Abbots Wood Car Park. BN26 6RP.
Charges apply unless you hold an annual pass for Friston Forest & Abbots Wood. There will be plenty of parking space but as always we encourage car sharing, sadly it is not possible to get to this location by public transport.

Extra Weekend Activities

The Society is planning a series of additional walks and activities this year, to be held at Weekends, in the hope that people unable to attend the usual Tuesday events, perhaps due to a daytime job, may find these events more accessible.
