What are the Central Norfolk Health Walks?
We organise led health walks in Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk. The project was set
up to encourage people to walk for health benefits in their local communities, by providing a safe
and supervised environment in which to walk.
Health walks are not rambles or 'power walks'. On a health walk you walk fast enough to feel
slightly warmer, breathe a little faster and get the heart beating a little faster then normal, but
the crucial point is that you should still be able to carry out a conversation. Our trained volunteers
can help you find the right walking speed for you.

We work in partnership with
*the Norwich Fringe Project,
*Active Norfolk,
*Lloyds Pharmacies,
*NHS Norfolk,
*Natural England
*Walking the Way to Health Initiative.
We are a Walking the Way to Health Accredited Scheme, meaning we offer led health walks for all
levels of fitness and meet safety and insurance standards.
Circular Walks
We organise a walk programme all year round, offering circular walks in a number of areas. The walks are
of varying intensities and are led by trained volunteers.
All our walks are free and there is no need to book. For your first walk, you will need to arrive 15 minutes early to fill in
a short health questionaire.
We can help local community groups to set up their own walking groups, by offering training and advice.
