Warwick Walking Group

We're looking for new and friendly people to join us at our weekly walking groups!

Every first, third and fifth Tuesday of the month, we meet at 10:30am at St Nicholas Park in Warwick. Then every second and fourth Tuesday we meet at 10:30am at Jephson Gardens in Leamington.

We usually walk for up to an hour and will then sit as a group and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. If you’re living in or around the Warwick or Leamington Spa area and enjoy being outside and meeting new people, come and join us!

We’re accepting people of all abilities, it doesn’t matter if you want to speedwalk your way through or just join us for a leisurely stroll.

Come and join the fun! Email us at enquiries@warwickshire.vision or call us on 01926 411331 to let us know you're coming

I'm Going Blind. This Is What I See

In the video from the New York Times, the filmmaker James Robinson introduces us to Yvonne Shortt, who is legally blind. But unlike the stereotype of the blind living in a lightless world, Ms. Shortt, like most other legally blind people, lives a nuanced existence between those who see well and those who can’t see a thing. In this short film, Mr. Robinson simulates what it’s like to be Ms. Shortt, navigating her world with progressively declining eyesight but also recognizing what she has gained even as she has lost something so precious.
