Our walks

The Walking for Health programme in North Lincolnshire is in its eighth year and proving more successful than ever. Led walks are regularly being held around North Lincolnshire and are very popular. There are often between 30 and 60 people attending the walks, all of whom have a different reason to be there. Most of our walks are about 3 miles and they take place whatever the weather!

Many of the people who take part do so, not only to improve their health, but also to improve their social life! Its a great way to meet other people and make new friends.

Tuesday walks
One Tuesday morning walk is led by the Heart to Heart group and, although originally set up to rehabilitate individuals with heart problems, it is now open to the public and extremely well attended. These walks take place every other Tuesday.

The other Tuesday walk (Walk 4 All ) is open to everyone. Sometimes it is possible to run a short walk for those new to walking. Please call first to check if a short walk is running.

Wednesday evening walks take place from May to August

Thursday walks
The Thursday morning walks take place all over the region and are popular with many walkers of all ages.

The Thursday afternoon walks aim to attract those people living in the centre of Scunthorpe without transport or who don't want to drive out to a walk. They are lovely walks which take you off the beaten track to places you may have forgotton or never knew existed.

New local History and storytelling walks will take place during School Holidays during 2012 see new programme for details .Run in conjunction with North Lincolnshire Library Service

Friday walks
On Friday mornings the walks are held at Normanby Hall Country Park and are an ideal starting point for new walkers and those not able to walk long distances. Here we are able to hold three walks for differing abilities, great for those unsure of their capabilities.

Short walks of up to 1 mile are recommencing in Scunthorpe on Tuesdays from March 2012, starting at Central park at 11am please phone for detail 01724 297631
