Health Walks

Walking is a great way to keep active and healthy and its now even a social event that can help you to meet new peers and groups of people. The regular Health Walks are a great way to see the beautiful landscapes of Winchester and take in some fresh air at the same time! Explained as 'a purposeful, brisk walk undertaken on a regular basis' these health walks can provide a great starting basis to leading an active and healthy lifestyle in a fun, friendly and relaxed environment!

Aimed at those people who are inactive or do little physical activity there are currently four free Health Walks that take place across the District and are run by our team of Volunteer Walk Leaders. Walks takes place on a weekly basis and last for around 2 to 3 miles (Approx 1 Hour). Details of your nearest Health Walk can be found below:

These walks rely on the support that we recieve from our local Volunteer Walk Leaders and we are always looking for more volunteers to join our team. Walk Leaders attend a one day course to become qualified, the course is free of charge and run in the local area. Once qualified a leader can choose to take a group walk on a regular basis or on a more infrequent basis as they wish!

If you are interested in becoming a Walk Leader or are just interested in attending Health Walk please contact our Active Lifestyles Officer, Lydia Lockhart on 01962 848725 or e-mail at llockhart@winchester.gov.uk for more information!
