Health Walks

• Health Walks are short, volunteer led local walks aimed at those who wish to be more active.  Walks are generally between 40-90 minutes and leave from accessible venues such as libraries and leisure centres throughout east Kent.

• There is no need to book, just turn up for a free Health Walk. This is a very popular choice for many people who wish to become more active as it is a very sociable option as well. Most of the Health Walks finish with refreshments and a chat!

Walk England - Walk England is a social enterprise working with communities and organisations to encourage more people to walk, more often and to more places. We love walking, and want to make sure that everyone can find out everything they need to enjoy it as much as we do, whether that means finding a walk in the countryside, or through a park, or to school or work, or for whatever reason, or finding out how to lead a guided walk, or how to measure how much activity they’re doing.

BBC Breathing Places - BBC Breathing Places is a major BBC Learning campaign to inspire and motivate you to create, care for and enjoy nature-friendly green spaces where you live.  It is also to encourage people to enjoy nature walks in the countryside, parks, and nature reserves.
