Walking for health groups

These groups undertake friendly, sociable walks across Charnwood. They are up to around an hour in length and free to attend. The walks are run under the Walking for Health scheme and led by friendly volunteer walk leaders.  

We have regular walks in Shepshed, Barrow-upon-Soar, Loughborough, Mountsorrel and Woodhouse Eaves.

Walks are on a turn up and take part basis.

Details can be found on the Charnwood Sport website.

Nordic Walks

We support weekly Nordic walks from Queen’s Park, Loughborough.  These walks are led by a British Nordic Walking trained instructor and are suitable for beginners and more experienced walkers.  Poles are available to use during the walks..
