Tree Walk with Aidan Meighan - Beck Isle Museum

Explore the folklore of the trees found on our doorstep here in Pickering!

Join arboreal devotee and author of The Folklore of Trees , Aidan Meighan, on an approximately two mile walk starting outside the Beck Isle Museum and following the Pickering Beck, before branching off around the Castle and down Burgate to the Church.

Along the way well stop to hear about the legends, secrets and myths of the different tree species living on this beautiful route.

We'll end the walk at The Forest and Vale Hotel garden, home to a 300+ year old sweet chestnut tree, with a sandwich buffet for those who choose to add this on to the walk. Drinks arent included, but the bar will be open for you to choose your favourite, from a cup of tea to an afternoon tipple!

The walk is generally considered an easy route along footpaths. If you have any questions about the route or accessibility, please contact Pickering Book Tree to discuss.

The event will go ahead in most weathers, so please come prepared for the days forecast. Well move inside for the lunch at the Forest and Vale if it is raining.
