Title: Hertfordshire Health Walks


1
Hertfordshire Health Walks
a popular county wide programme of free short,
regular walks led by trained volunteers and
graded to suit all fitness levels and abilities

Hitchin Letchworth Health Walks
  • Walks take place in both
  • towns and in surrounding
  • villages all year round on
  • a weekly or fortnightly
  • basis including weekends
  • and evenings (during
  • summer)

Why walk?
  • a great way of meeting new people - most walks
    finish in the pub for a drink and a natter
  • a chance to get outside in your local green
    spaces and countryside helping to combat
    stress, depression and anxiety
  • brisk walking helps reduce the risk of diabetes,
    Alzheimer's, bowel cancer and can help prevent
    osteoporosis, high blood pressure, stroke and
    coronary heart disease

What our health walkers say
The health walks are just great. Excellent
leaders, good routes, good pubs for a drink
afterwards. Thanks!
In the days of the credit crunch what can be
better than a good walk followed by a cup of tea
good for us and our wallet!
The concept of graded walks is a very positive
idea. Together with other participants my health
has improved via various strategies and the walks
for health are an important component.
