Walking is a great way to improve both physical and mental health, and there are lots of opportunities to enjoy walking in North Somerset. Walking is a simple, free way of being more active and is ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels. As well as the health benefits, walking can be a great way to explore your local area, finding out what’s on your doorstep – whether that’s local nature and environment or shops and businesses.

The Health Walks scheme welcomes over 300 regular walkers a week in and around North Somerset, for walks up to 60 minutes long. We have Health Walks in Banwell, Cheddar and Churchill; Clevedon, Long Ashton, Nailsea, Portishead, Weston-super-Mare, Winscombe, Worle and Yatton.
Our walks are led by volunteers who welcome you to join their groups. They have all attended Health Walk Leader training to ensure a safe and enjoyable walk for all. If you’re interested in volunteering at your local Health Walk, visit the Walk Leader Training page to find out more.
