What are Health Walks?

They’re regular, short, free, low-level walks led by trained staff or volunteers.

Who are they for?

Anyone, including those who are currently inactive, living with long term conditions, or in recovery from illness, injury or at risk of isolation. Please contact us in advance if you have any accessibility concerns.

What to Expect

A nice warm welcome, for a start! Led by a trained member of staff or volunteer, you’ll take a gentle 45-60 minute walk along a pre-planned route. This is an ideal activity for people who have been inactive and looking to get out, get those steps in, and have a nice friendly chat with some new people. And you’ll be delighted to know that each session ends with a nice cosy cuppa.

Why come along?

The benefits of activity on both mental and physical health are well documented. Whether it’s getting a breath of fresh air, clearing the mind or just getting a change of scenery – it’s a great thing to be able to get up and do, if you’re able to. Those extra steps help you build stamina, improve heart health, and burn calories. It’s also a great way to get to know the local area better, and make new friends too!

Please feel free to bring a drink with you, wear sturdy footwear, and dress for the weather conditions on the day. Children under 18 must attend with a responsible adult.
