Swindon Health Walks are weekly group walks that encourage the use of our local parks and open spaces. Usually they last 40 - 60 minutes with refreshments offered at the end.
There are currently eight different Swindon Health Walks available across the borough, all offering the opportunity to explore local green areas and communities. The groups are friendly and welcome new walkers. Some walks offer occasional 'away day' specials.
