Test Valley Health Walks

Test Valley Health Walks
Region: South East
Last updated: 09, August 2011

The   Test Valley  Health Walks Offer 6 walks across the beautiful Test Valley.

All of the  walks are alternated for interest, last  approx 1 hour and  are around 2.5 miles in length. Shorter route options are available for new walkers. Please wear sensible shoes, sun protection and bring a drink.

Please note that due to the variety of walks and routes we offer, not all routes may be wheelchair/pram friendly or have access to refreshments, therefore we advise you to contact the Health Walks coordinator before you join a Health Walk for further information.

Social activities and a newsletter about walking and health are also provided for walkers.

Test Valley Health Walks are run by a team of volunteer Health Walk Leaders, managed by Test Valley Borough Council  and funded by Hampshire PCT.
