Accessible Haunted Clifton Walk
oin us for a gentle, accessible stroll through the historic village of Clifton. This is a slower-paced, sensory-focused, low-impact walk. Those with low mobility, limited spoons, who use a wheelchair, or are simply feeling burned out and anxious, are all warmly welcome.
On this mindful walk, we’ll explore each of our senses: taste, smell, touch, hearing, sight, and spirit.
We’ll pause along the way to take in the natural beauty of the area (bring binoculars if you’d like a closer look) while weaving in the magic and folklore of the River Avon. You’ll also hear eerie local legends and spooky tales from Clifton’s history.
We’ll finish with a cosy hot chocolate at a local café.
