National Walking Day 2023
5 April 2023, 9:30 am - 6:00 pm
National Walking Day gives us a fantastic opportunity to showcase the many and varied benefits of walking, taking place on the first Wednesday of April every year.
Widely regarded as one of the best means of exercise, walking is free, and can be done by almost everyone, anywhere, anytime. Even a short walk each day can have positive effects on your physical, mental, social, and emotional health while reducing your risks of many common conditions such as diabetes, heart conditions, stroke and cancers.
We’re extremely fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of the country with easy access to such varied coastline, urban areas, and rural areas, with some fantastic path networks to enjoy.
To celebrate National Walking Day why not get on your walking shoes and join us on some of the planned FREE Health Walks to remind us of all the many and varied benefits of walking.
No dogs except assistance dogs, with the exception of the evening dog friendly walk.
