Get out, enjoy the great outdoors and bask in the rays this Saturday and Sunday. Whether an afternoon in the pub, or a leisurely walk taking in some of Hillingdon's spectacular natural sights is your thing, we've got it covered.

 - On Saturday (March 22), you can join a guided walk around the historic 144-acre Cranford Park off The Parkway, full of historical relics, nature trails, and the River Crane.

A Countryside and Conservation Officer will be the tour guide, and the group will set off at 11am at the park’s information centre. It will last around an hour and a half.

On Sunday is the Hillingdon Trail walk. Families can join the Mayor of Hillingdon, Councillor Allan Kauffman, with his wife and Mayoress Lynne, on a three-mile leisurely stroll through Michael Frost Park, Ten Acres Wood and Gutteridge Wood local nature reserves.

It will start at Hayes Rugby Club car park, off Kingshill Avenue in Hayes, and finish at around 12 noon at Ickenham Marsh, off Austins Lane, where there will be a bus to take people back to the start.

To book your place, email dknezevic@hillingdon.gov.uk

Both are free.

Young people under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult, and you will be getting your hands dirty so wear rough clothes.
