Residents in North Somerset are being encouraged to walk a little more by going along to one of the many health walks that take place in the area.

Health walks happen weekly across North Somerset helping you to get out in the fresh air and get your body moving, to get to know the area around you more and to meet new people.

The walks are free and run by trained volunteers who are there to provide support and encouragement.

You may have walked in the past and got out of the habit or are no longer able to walk as far as you once did. Walking for Health supports anybody who would like to become more active and welcomes over 300 regular walkers a week in and around Clevedon, Long Ashton, Nailsea, Portishead, Weston-super-Mare, Winscombe, Worle and Yatton.

You can find out more about the health walk groups in North Somerset and view the new spring/summer health walks programme on the Walking for Health website at www.walkingforhealth.org.uk/walkfinder/north-somerset-walking-for-health.
