Together We Walk - Walking Groups

Walk Your Way to Wellness - Join the Journey

Our walking groups promote better health and wellbeing through regular exercise and the chance to build strong social connections within our beautiful city and county. Whether you are here for fitness, friendship or fresh air, you’ll be part of a supportive and inclusive group.

Here’s what some of our walkers have said about the benefits they feel:

‘People report better mobility and a more confident outlook – we hope you enjoy those benefits, too.’

‘I feel more connected to nature and less stressed after every walk.’

‘I’m so happy when some walkers shared that they ‘have a reason to get dressed and go outside every Wednesday.’
