Health Walks - Step this way for a Healthier Future

Walking is a great way to keep active and healthy and is fast  becoming a social event that can help you to meet people. 

Health Walks enable you to see the beautiful  countryside, landscapes, towns and villages in Test Valley whilst taking in fresh air and exercise at the same time!

Health Walks are aimed at all fitness levels but particularly  those people who do little physical activity or those who are recovering from ill health.  Shorter walks are offered as an incentive for those not ready to complete the full distance of approximately 2.5 miles.

They are run by a  team of trained Volunteer Walk Leaders who motivate and encourage all walkers to keep walking and they recognise that everyone has different levels of fitness, needs and abilities.
