Get Active for Health
Being active is well-known as being good for us; the activities in this section are designed to specifically help you improve and/or maintain your health and are particularly aimed at people who may have been inactive for many years.
Health Walks
Health walks are short, sociable walks that last around 30-45 minutes. They aim to help people get the most out of walking for their physical and mental health; and they also provide a great opportunity to meet new people.
The walks are FREE and lead by friendly and supportive qualified leaders, with one at the front, and one at the back, so you can walk at your own pace and there is no pressure to keep up with the people at the front - making them particularly beneficial to anyone who is getting little or no exercise, recovering or suffering from an illness or lacking in confidence.
