Get active for free! We have a range of great walks with a variety of lengths to suit all abilities and backgrounds. And there’s no need to worry about not being fit enough. There is a volunteer at the front and one at the back, no-one gets left behind.

For those of you just getting started, there are more than 30 short walks to choose from. Our shortest walk lasts around  20 minutes. It is ideal for people with long-term health conditions looking to improve their activity levels and those recovering from an injury or illness. Our friendly volunteers in their bright yellow jackets will welcome and support you all the way.

Advice for walkers joining a walk for the first time

If you are thinking about joining a free Health Walk, the  first thing to do is find a walk that is suitable for your fitness level and starts near where you live. We make it easy for you by grading our walks  by how long they last and the terrain covered. Walks graded 3 and above are aspirational/progression walks. First Steps are our shortest. Other things to consider are:

• Start gradually – join a short walk first
• Communicate – arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the start to listen to the pre-walk briefing

Be prepared – wear sturdy footwear and warm clothing. For longer walks, bring essentials like water, snacks and rain gear even if the weather looks fine.

We look forward to welcoming you!
