Weekly Walks 2019
Come and join our free, low level Weekly walks encouraging everyone to become more physically and socially active within our community. We also raise awareness of the benefits of active travel within our local area.
Our walks are open to everyone, of all abilities, and we support people living with long term conditions, Dementia and sensory impairments. No need to sign up, just turn up…our locally trained Walk Leaders look forward to seeing you there. We then all enjoy tea & chat in the café after our walk!
