Islington Walks

Region: London

Last updated: 07, July 2011

Islington Walks, part of Aquaterra Leisure, offer local residents the opportunity to walk regularly in a relaxed and friendly environment.  You are invited to join our three regular walks, regardless of your age or fitness level. The walks are relatively gentle and last for approx 1 hour. They are free of charge and led by a team of trained, volunteer walk leaders. 

Islington Walks continue throughout the year, with the exceptions of Bank Holidays and over the Christmas period. Non-Islington residents are welcome to join us. Details of the walks may change from time to time. Please contact the Walking Coordinator to check for changes to the programme. 

Our walks

Participants are advised to arrive 10 minutes prior to the start time and wear comfortable shoes. Any participants with health concerns should consult their GP before coming on their first walk.
