Wellness Walks

Led by fully trained volunteer walk leaders, our free walks are an ideal way to improve fitness or mobility in a sociable atmosphere.

All walks take place at High Woods Country Park, those taking part need to meet at the visitor centre at 10.45am - the walk will start at 11am.

Friday Wellness Walks cater for all abilities and cover a 1 mile route that can be repeated to make a 2 mile walk. They are held on alternate Fridays year round (bank holidays excluded).
