Getting going

We look after and represent the interests of all walkers in Britain, from someone taking their first steps to people who walk regularly and great distances.

If you're not currently walking, but are considering improving your health and wellbeing through physical activity, we can help.

You could:

• Join a health walk - we partner with Macmillan Cancer Support to run the national centre for Walking for Health in England
• Try a short walk - we operate a short walks programme called Get Walking Keep Walking in England while our Take 30 initiative in Scotland is designed to encourage people to be more active in their daily lives
• Discover opportunities in your community - in Scotland we run our Medal Routes project and in Wales we run Let's Walk Cymru

If you're keen to get into walking to meet new people or explore new areas you can join one of the hundreds of our group led walks our volunteers organise around the country each week or visit our online library of high-quality walking routes to discover great trails to follow.
