Formerly known as Walking for Health and operating until recently under the umbrella of Ramblers, since 2008 our volunteer Walk Leaders have been leading walks with starting points all over the Forest of Dean district. They have been trained to lead safe and inviting walks which aim to help you get more active, improve your health and offer a chance to meet others.​

We have a range of walks from those which last 10 minutes up to many which may take 1 hour. They are generally no more than 3 miles, often less, You can choose what suits you best and most walks end with refreshments with a chance to chat. All walks are free and friendly and there is no need to book.​

We welcome people of any ability who would like to walk with others on an organised walk. Each of us may have different reasons for wanting to walk so come along and join in.

For Newent we meet at the Chill Out Zone, 36 Broad Street Newent, GL18 1AJ on Thursdays 10.00 am. The 3rd Thursday of every month we walk to the Oxenhall Village Hall to join their coffee morning.
