Life at Wellesley is all about community, connection and enjoying the outdoors. The beautiful Wellesley Woodlands plays a central role, offering residents the chance to take part in a variety of free activities set within its stunning natural surroundings—from health walks and Tai Chi sessions to Easter egg hunts, pumpkin carving and the annual Wellesley Dog Show.
These events provide the perfect opportunity to get involved, meet neighbours and make the most of the neighbourhood’s vibrant community spirit.
Spanning 110 hectares, Wellesley Woodlands is made up of interlinked woodlands, wildlife habitats, lakes and canal-side walks. Divided into four main areas, it offers a network of easy and accessible trails where you can walk, cycle or run while immersing yourself in nature. From the towering Beech trees of Rushmoor Bottom to the serene Chalk Farm Lake, the scenery is diverse and beautiful.
Managed by The Land Trust in partnership with the Blackwater Valley Countryside Partnership, the woodlands are open to everyone and cared for to the highest standards. For more information, visit wellesleywoodlands.co.uk
