Community Walk

We are blessed in Langdon Hills to have so much beautiful nature on our doorstep. God’s wonder is truly all around us. Please join us for a lovely walk through the woods to Langdon Nature Discovery Centre every 4th Saturday of the month (weather permitting). Meeting outside St John’s Church at 9.30am, the gentle stroll gives us the opportunity to chat and admire the changing seasons as we wander down to the Sensory Garden and then stop for refreshments at the Discovery Centre, which is a perfect opportunity to connect with the local community.

If you would prefer to meet us at the Langdon Nature Discovery Centre for coffee, we will be there at approx 10am. The Post code for the centre is SS16 6EB.
