Ready to give your walks a purpose? Try the newly-launched Box Walks

Box Walks is a new initiative using cleaned-up old phone boxes for a nature walk, with information at each phone box about a different aspect of climate change and sustainability.

Box Walks brings our sleepy, red phone boxes out of retirement and uses them as destination points on nature-based walks, which foster community and promote environmental action.

Find a red phone box to start walking with purpose and see how you can supercharge your environmental efforts in your home and neighbourhood.

After many months of negotiations and preparations, Box Walks launched on Saturday 13 June 2026 at Richmond Green, outside the Prince's Head pub, with Chair of our Environment, Sustainability, Culture and Sports Committee, Cllr Julia Neden-Watts cutting the ribbon.

These are a great activity for residents and visitors especially in the warmer weather. People can simply scan the QR code on a phone box and download the app which has the map and information.
