Walk 4 Health Bedfordshire
About Us
Walk 4 Health Bedfordshire, co-ordinated by Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity, covers the Central Bedfordshire and Bedford Borough areas of the county.
There are currently 27 different walk programmes operating under this scheme, most of these are weekly walks though some are fortnightly. Due to the fact that most of our walks are 'circular', with various shortcuts available , routes timings range from around 10 minutes to 90 minutes.
Central Beds programmes currently operate in Ampthill, Arlesey, Barton-le-Clay, Biggleswade, Dunstable, Flitwick, Henlow, Houghton Regis, Leighton Buzzard, Marston Moretaine, Shefford, Potton and Sandy.
Bedford Borough programmes include Bedford Embankment, Black Tom, De Parys & Brickhill, Kempston, Great Barford, Goldington, Harrold Odell Country Park and Wilstead.
For further information about the walks please contact Mike Fayers - see details below.
Our Walks
Walk name | Route options available | Length (hours) |
There are walks taking place every weekday, and occasionally at weekends. The majority of these are flat walks with no stiles, and are suitable for almost everybody.
A number of the walks end at cafes or pubs to enable walkers to have a social drink before they leave.
Feel free to contact the appropriate walk leader (details on walks table, which also includes Bedford walks) if you would like further information on a specific walk.
