Wellbeing Walks with Ramblers Association

What to Expect

Wellbeing Walks are sociable group walks led by trained leaders. They are open to adults of any age, fitness or ability but many are aimed at those who are less active. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that are weather-appropriate. Bring some water to drink.

The walk leader will meet the group at the designated start point and everyone sets off together, on time. The intention is to walk at a consistent but steady pace, making sure no-one gets left behind. Many people will take the opportunity to chat with each other but it’s also fine if you just want to enjoy the movement and the views. Some groups will also go for a coffee afterwards, this varies from location to location.

In Fenland, they aim to offer a range of regular walks in various locations across the market towns of Fenland and surrounding villages. They also hope to provide some one-off walks throughout the year, which may follow a certain theme or activity. There are walks to suit all abilities and each walk is led by at least one of our lovely Walk Leaders.  The walks are supported by Active Fenland, they also provide walk leader training throughout the year.  Please contact Active Fenland for more details.
