Dartford Health Walks Dartford Health Walks are short, sociable walks that last around 30-45 minutes. The walks are 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 participating in little or no exercise, recovering or suffering from an illness or lacking in confidence.
