Best Foot Forward
This is a short, inclusive and dementia-friendly walk (approximately 1–2 miles) around the museum grounds. We take a relaxed pace, stop regularly to rest, and enjoy the changing scenery. Routes vary week to week.
In poor weather, we may stop for a warm drink at Clover Cottage.
Free of charge, no booking required. No museum pass needed. Just turn up on the day, you’ll be asked to complete a participant form.
