GET WALKING KEEP WALKING
Go DIY!

If there’s a Get Walking Keep Walking project nearby, you can follow our 12-week plan with the help of led walks and activities and detailed local information. See the Get Walking Keep Walking index for local programme locations.

For information about good places to walk, try:

  • The local library – a good source of books, leaflets and maps.

  • Local information centres. Remember Tourist Information Centres aren’t just for tourists.

  • The local council, including their website. Ask for parks and recreation or the walking officer.

  • Or get yourself a street atlas and simply explore away from main roads – you’ll be surprised at what you find.

Health walks with trained leaders now take place all over Britain. Ask at libraries or doctors’ surgeries or contact:

Other led walks are run by councils, wildlife groups, organisations like the Ramblers and local walking clubs. Some of these are more challenging walks but others are shorter and may be suitable for family walking. Ask in libraries or information centres, and see www.ramblers.org.uk/firststeps for details of Ramblers’ easier walks.
