Countryside Activities is a series of varied events to help you explore Doncaster’s countryside, wildlife and heritage. You’ll find something for all ages and interests, including guided walks, children’s events, family outings, music and dance, stories, wildlife events and more. All we ask is that you come along and enjoy yourselves!

Whatever the weather, they will be there!

Walking is almost perfect exercise requiring no equipment or expense, it is the best way for people from all walks of life to become more active. Any walking is better than none. Gentle strolling is a good start for people who are not used to exercise. Brisk walking is the goal, because the heart reaches its natural ‘training zone’ when it has to work a little harder than normal.
And it’s not just about physical exercise! One of the most important benefits people associate with visiting the countryside is the sense of relaxation and well-being.
