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.

Some of the most interesting buildings in Hoddesdon are best seen on foot. The Heritage Trail will help you locate these buildings and tell you a little about their history.

 

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.
