A circular 3 hour walk (approx) in a Woodlands near Lewes (address provided in booking)

Difficulty: Easy. It is likely that it will be very muddy!

  • We will take some time to take in the surroundings, sit and lay in the grass.

What people say about my walks:

"An Enchantress...Her mesmerising voice is transporting me to some faraway places" The Guardian

​"I enjoyed tremendously our walk today, guided by Nana - listening to her beautiful stories, surrounded by nature of outstanding beauty - it was such a great pleasure and an amazing experience! Truly loved it. Thank you so much, Nana, looking forward to your next storytelling walk!"

"I so enjoyed a soul-warming, uplifting walk with Nana. She shared inspiring stories and poems, great conversations and companionable quiet moments, to appreciate the lovely surroundings. Balm for the soul, particularly in these difficult times."
