Health Walks
Overview
Health Walks are short, organised walks, led by trained volunteers from the local community. They are part of the national Walking for Health initiative. Designed with health in mind they can improve both physical and mental health by offering a safe, friendly and supported environment where everyone can walk at their own pace and not be left behind to walk alone.

When/Where?
There are opportunities to socialise with refreshments at the end of the walk. Health Walks are perfect for beginners, for those who would like to become more active or perhaps lack the confidence and knowledge about where to walk. Many of the walks have a variety of routes and offer the opportunity to move onto more challenging walks as fitness increases. Please note that walks will not go ahead if there is severe rainfall, snow or ice.
