Guided Walks

Our monthly guided walks exploring Hampstead Heath are essential for anyone interested in the history, conservation and ecology of the Heath. No need to pre-book, minimum donation of £5 per adult.

The Society also hosts occasional plaque walks in Hampstead village – these must be pre-booked and cost £10.

The money raised helps support the walks programme and the Society’s activities.
