The walking tour, which debuts at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 6, lets visitors explore areas of the property not usually accessible by foot and focuses on parts of the property that are especially picturesque. A Hagley guide will take groups on the walk through the grounds, allowing visitors to take photos along the way. Visitors are encouraged to tag Hagley’s social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with photos they take during the tour.

- Friday, June 9 at 6 p.m.
- Thursday, September 7 at 8:30 a.m.
- Saturday, October 28 at 10 a.m.
Visitors should be able to carry their own photography equipment and should be prepared to walk some distance during the tour. Please note, this is not a workshop, and photographers should know how to use their own equipment. No training or assistance on photography equipment will be provided by the guide. The tour is expected to last up to three hours.
