Step out with Guildford Health Walks

Round & About

You often hear people say “autumn is my favourite season” imbued with rich vibrant colours, the temperature becomes cooler and the air fresher, perfect to join a Guildford Health Walk says volunteer Michele Roach

Guildford Health Walks are circular, range in length from an hour to 90 minutes, and with the option to choose a different walk each weekday morning, you’ll explore local areas, get outdoors, and meet new people.   

All the walks are led by trained volunteer leaders with all abilities welcome. The walking is mainly easy, although be prepared to encounter all the seasons in one day and on some walks a hill or two. All walks are conveniently located near car parks or most can be accessed by bus routes. There’s always the opportunity to join others for refreshments at the local cafe or pub afterwards. Well-behaved dogs on short leads are welcome.
