health walks

The Bar Hill Health Walks are fully accredited by Walking for Health. The walks normally last approximately one hour and are supervised by trained walk leaders. Shorter walks of 10-30 minutes duration are available within our regular walks. Everyone is welcome; no previous walk experience required and no one gets left behind.

These are all-weather walks. Come rain or shine, there will always be a trained volunteer ready to lead the way!

For the safety and comfort of walkers we only permit assistance dogs and assistance dogs-in-training on our walks. Only the Bar Hill village walks are suitable for wheelchairs and buggies.

Walks are held every Wednesday. Meet at 10:30 a.m. by the Memorial Garden near the maple surgery. If walking with us for the first time, please arrive 10 minutes early to fill out a short health questionnaire. After the walk you are welcome to join us locally for a hot drink and a chat. We look forward to seeing you at the next walk!
