Berriew Walk

Berriew, Powys (off A483 north of Newtown)

BOOK FOR THIS WALK 

TCF volunteer members David and Fiona invite bereaved parents, grandparents and adult siblings to join a walk in the Severn valley. Our walks aim to bring people together for mutual support and encouragement in lovely countryside.

We will walk a level route starting in the pretty village of Berriew, along made paths, staying on the valley floor alongside the canal but with views up to the hills on either side. The distance is about 5 miles and there are no hills or stiles to climb.  Although the route is mostly surfaced there will still be some puddles or mud. You will need strong footwear and waterproofs.

We will start and finish in the village** where there is free parking, and plan to have drinks and/or lunch at the lovely Lychgate tearoom – possibly outside as the tearoom’s seating capacity is limited.

Please note that if you bring along a friend or relative with you for initial support, they will be unable to join us for the walk itself unless they are themselves a bereaved parent or grandparent, or an adult bereaved sibling.

***

We ask that you wait until you have been bereaved for at least 3 months before joining our supportive walks. New walk dates are regularly added here, and we hope to welcome you at a future walk.

Our peer support is for parents bereaved of a child from one month old to an adult son or daughter, from any cause. We also offer support to bereaved grandparents and adult siblings (aged 18+)

Please call our Helpline on 0345 1232304 or email helpline@tcf.org.uk for support. 

We look forward to seeing those who have walked with us before, and to welcome those who are joining us for the first time.

If you haven’t walked with us yet, please don’t feel daunted or anxious about joining. You’ll quickly find yourself part of a warm, friendly and supportive community of others who have experienced similar bereavements.

** Please be aware that your email address will be given to our walk facilitators who will send a welcome email approximately one week before the walk, providing additional information and details about the meeting point. (It may sometimes end up in junk or spam folders, so please check there if you’ve registered and haven’t received the email.)

Please remember, if you bring a friend or relative for initial support, they will not be able to join the walk itself unless they are also a bereaved parent, grandparent, or adult bereaved sibling.

As this is a supportive walk, we ask that you stay together as a group for the duration of the walk.

Please note that individuals join a TCF walk at their own risk.
