Unfortunately, all of our Health Walks are suspended at the moment due to Covid 19 restrictions.
Health Walks are free, weekly one hour walks led by trained volunteers. Anyone can join one, but they’re especially suitable for help people who want to begin to start regular, gentle exercise.
Walking is the easiest way to begin to build fitness and improve your health, and doing it with a supportive group helps to keep you motivated and feel encouraged.
The routes are fairly easy and the leaders will avoid steep hills and stiles wherever possible. The walks are not designed to be too fast or challenging, and the leaders will adjust the pace to suit new walkers.
Health Walks provide a pleasant way to improve health and well-being for those who are getting little or no exercise, recovering from illness or injury, or lacking in confidence. Having said that, the majority of walkers stay because they enjoy the social aspects of taking part and meeting new people!
We have Health Walks every day of the week from Monday to Saturday across the county in the following locations:
Ashdown Forest, Battle, Bexhill-on-Sea (2 options), Chelwood Gate, Crowborough, Eastbourne (3 options), Fairlight, Hailsham, Hastings (4 options), Heathfield, Lewes, Ninfield, Pevensey Bay, Polegate, Rye, St. Leonards (2 options), Seaford, Sidley.
Health Walks are free to join and take place every week (apart from bank and public holidays) unless otherwise indicated.
We also offer opportunities for people to become volunteer Walk Leaders. Free training is provided.
We are always looking for Health Walk leaders. Would you like to help?
