Chesterfield’s Great Outdoors is on your doorstep and ready to explore!
In Chesterfield we are lucky to have over 400 hectares of public open space in our borough, including parks, greenways, public playing fields, small areas of open space in local areas, separate woodlands within the built areas, urban fringe woodlands and countryside sites with public access. Four of our parks have been awarded Green Flag status which recognises and rewards well managed parks and green spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world.
If you would like company as you explore, walking groups are a great way to meet new people, make new friends, and you’ll have the reassurance of a friendly group with a trained walk leader.
If group walking isn’t your thing, why not try the Art Trail, seeking out over 80 art installations at sites all across our borough?
Or why not make the time to just enjoy a stroll outdoors with no particular destination in mind and enjoy all the sensations you experience – known as mindful walking, this is especially beneficial for our mental wellbeing. Slow down your pace, focusing on your breath, your steps, your surroundings, use all of your senses – can you feel a breeze? What do you smell? What can you hear – cars? People? Birds? What colours can you see?
Step out and see where your feet take you.
