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 with a dog.

Longer walks information:
Date	Location	Walk description
Tuesday 21 July	Meet from the middle of Westham Bridge (just off Commercial Road) - on the pavement by the parking ticket machine.	Only a short walk from Weymouth train station and town centre bus stops. A convenient car park is Melcombe Regis, postcode DT4 7DW, however there are alternatives nearby. Our walk will start along the Rodwell Trail, heading over to Nothe Gardens and the Nothe Fort, then back through the harbour and town bridge. The walk is on tarmac paths which have gentle inclines plus two very short but steeper sections to access and leave the trail. The surfaces are uneven in places with no mud. As always, please wear suitable footwear and clothing. Approximate duration is 80 to 90 minutes depending on our pace on the day. We take a rest stop near the Nothe Gardens.

Health questionnaire

If you are a new walker to the Weymouth 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.
