Walking Groups

Walking is really important for physical as well as mental health. Walking in a group can be even more beneficial due to the social interactions which occur.

Below you can see a selection of local walking group opportunities. You can also find a list of recommended walks which is a work in progress but will hopefully expand in the future.

If you are out on a walk within our PCN boundary do keep an eye out for public benches and consider taking a photo to submit to our Public Benches Map.
