Guided Walks

The Guided Walks programme is organised by Active Charnwood, in partnership with the Active Together's walking initiative, Walk Together.

The programme consists of volunteer led walks for all abilities in and around Charnwood. Spanning from 30 minute strolls to countryside walks taking several hours, this programme offers something for everyone.

We have Nordic walking, mindful walks, accessible walks, nature walks, buggy walks, networking walks and more.

Most walks are free to attend, with the exception being our 'Coach trip walks', which take you out into the countryside by coach to explore areas such as the Peak District for the day. The charge covers the cost of coach hire.

The programme is also supported by partners including Charnwood Action Group, Walk Together, British Nordic Walking, The Walk and Talk Project, Loughborough Female Fitness, Bradgate Park Volunteers, local Community Centres, and our wonderful volunteers.

We rely on volunteers to lead our walks and we run regular walk leader training courses to support existing and new walks, if you'd like to get involved please contact us on 01509 634 673 or at active.charnwood@charnwood.gov.uk.
