Burbage Edge Mindful Connections Hike

£20.00 £25.00

Saturday 18th April 2026 9:30am

Guaranteed to run

Join us on a special mindful group hike in the Peak District which focuses on making connections with like-minded others and fully embracing nature, on a ‘no-phones’ adventure!

Mindfulness is the practice of purposely focusing attention on the present moment and the environment, so we can immerse ourselves in the nature surrounding us. By incorporating a ‘no-phones’ element it will help to reduce stress, improve mental wellbeing, and break reactive habits often caused by endless phone notifications. 

This is a lovely route around Burbage Edge & Padley Gorge, taking in key sights of the area such as Over Owler & Higger Tor. We’ll be so engrossed in the surrounding views you’ll want to leave your phone at home more often…

Route Summary:

8 miles + 400m elevation (mixed terrain)

Beginner to moderate level

Open to all adults

Exact meeting point and details will be sent out via email nearer to the event.
