Weymouth Health Walks

There are two health walks in Weymouth which are mostly flat.

The route taken on the day is agreed at the beginning of the walk and is dependent on the ability and preference of those attending.

All abilities are welcome and the walk can stretch out to different paces. There is no pressure and no one is ever left behind as the pace of the walk is dictated by the rear walker. Our walks last approximately 45 minutes.

Dogs on a discretionary basis, please get in touch with the local contact before attending.

Health questionnaire

If you are a new walker to the health walk scheme, we ask that you complete an annual Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire on arrival. Please allow an extra 10 minutes to complete the form. We ask you to complete this once a year or if your health condition changes.
