About the organisation
A health walk is a short, purposeful walk undertaken on a regular basis.
As well as improving physical wellbeing our walks can help with mental wellbeing by providing an opportunity to socialise with other walkers.
Walkers are encouraged to walk at their own pace so they able to enjoy the walk.
Walk groups offer alternate routes and distances to allow this to happen.
Worcestershire Health Walks aim to improve the county’s health and well-being by encouraging more people to become active through the simplest form of exercise, walking.
