Join EPIKS for a circular guided walk to Edgerton Cemetery & Greenhead Park

The walk will be led by Environmet Projects in Kirklees (EPIKS) Ranger, Gilly, who has a specialist knowledge of urban wild landscapes and accopmpanied by published local historian, David Griffiths.
Our walk will start at Huddersfield train station and follow a circular route up to Edgerton Cemetery where we will learn of the history of Huddersfields first public park and how its design was influenced by its architects and founders; both in its building, monuments and landscape.
We will then continue our walk to Huddersfield Ukranian Club where we will stop for lunch and a compfort break (please bring your own food and drink). On leaving the club we will take the short walk to Greenhead Park, here we can again stop to look at the features of design and how the natural history is reflected in the landscape.
This walk is just under 3 miles and takes in a variety of terrain; town centre streets, side roads and footpaths. There are no steps on the route, however it does take in some moderately hilly side streets. The pace will be very steady, and stops will be frequent. It is suitable for those who like a slow pace and frequent opportunities to talk.
You are invited to join the conversation and add your stories as we walk. Share your relationship with Huddersfield's wild spaces and what they mean to you. Discover new ways of exploring the town and build a greater knowledge of how to interpret the landscape.
