Take a virtual walk around the Arundel Castle Estate Park with The Sussex Snowdrop Trust

The Sussex Snowdrop Trust, which provides nursing care at home for children with a life-threatening or terminal illness, has captured the beauty of the park in a film to allow people experience the walk from the safety of their own home.

The virtual walk features the sound of sheep bleating, an abundance of bird song and even a glimpse of deer darting through the woods.

Di Levantine, chairman and co-founder of The Sussex Snowdrop Trust, said: “Our annual walk is a real highlight for our Snowdrop families, supporters, nurses and counsellor as we meet up and enjoy the countryside.

“However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our Snowdrop families are shielded and the public are advised to stay at home so the charity had to look an alternative style of event.

“We dearly wanted to mark this special event and we hope this virtual walk allows people to feel a connection with the charity and the countryside.”

Meanwhile, the charity’s annual walk has been rearranged for September 13, with a final decision on whether it is safe to take place due to be made at the end of July.
