A note from composer Ellen Reid:
“I encourage everyone to make repeated visits throughout the year, to experience how weather, light, and music can change our perception of these landscapes and environments. Most of all, I hope people will take a moment away from the bustle of our hyper-connected world to enjoy the beauty of public parks, and to spend some quality time immersed in nature."

Ratings and Reviews
What a beautiful experience :)
I lost myself wondering around Regent’s Park to this sound work. Beautifully-made and very enjoyable. Look forward to coming back and exploring this when the park transforms in autumn and winter.
Embarrassingly bad
Downloading the app is just the beginning. You then have to download the audio for the walk you choose. This seems to take forever and, in my case, hung at around the 50% stage. I tried this 4 times on an 80 megabit connection. If it won’t work on Wi-Fi, good luck with getting it to work on 4G, or even 5G.
Another piece of cruddy app design, funded by the deep, deep pockets of The Wellcome Trust.
Whoever approved this for release should be ashamed of themselves
Loved this!
Chilled walkabout in the sunshine today. Thank you for this!
It took a few minutes to download - smooth sailing after that x
