Somerset Health Walks

What is a health walk?

It's a walk done on a regular basis for your well-being, ranging right from beginner through to gentle, moderate and advanced. It can help you to feel good, to have more energy, to sleep better and to manage your weight. There are so many benefits from health walking - we're sure you will see a difference in yourself even after your first walk!

Somerset Health Walks are for everyone. Our Walk Leaders cannot be responsible for individuals. If you need support on a walk, please bring along a trusted friend, family member, support worker or carer.
