Walks
Walking is good for you!
Guided Walks
Come and enjoy walks in and around the Borough of Broxbourne -
it's fun, relaxing, sociable and great for your health. Some
walks are free of charge, but where there is a small fee,
tickets must be purchased beforehand from one stop shops
or at Broxbourne Civic Hall. Alternatively you can pay by Switch or
credit card by calling (01992) 441946.
The cost per walk remains at £1, with tickets available in books
of five (£5 per book); one ticket must be handed in at the
beginning of each walk. Tickets will be valid for up to two
years.
Our informative leaders will help you discover the attractive local
countryside in friendly groups.

Health walks
If you want to enjoy your local park, meet new
people and benefit your health and wellbeing, come along to our
volunteer health walks. In order
to expand our walks programme we are looking to recruit more
volunteer leaders, especially those willing to lead a regular,
fortnightly or even monthly, weekday walk. Full training and
insurance is free. For further details go to the Health Walks page.
