Come along to Londonthorpe Woods for a guided nature walk as we discover fascinating facts about the woodland and its trees.

All trees have clues and features that can help with identification - you just need to know what to look out for. We'll help you learn how to identify some of the common species found in the wood, exploring interesting facts and some of the more unusual trees along the way.

Together with the National Trust, supported by National Lottery players through the National Lottery Heritage Fund, we've linked Londonthorpe Woods and Bellmount, reconnecting Grantham to its historic landscape.

This is a free event but booking in advance via the National Trust website is essential.

Don't forget

Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring sturdy footwear. You may also wish to bring binoculars.

This event is suitable for anyone over the age of five. Children should be accompanied at all times.

A compost toilet is available at Londonthorpe Woods for event attendees.
