Guided Walks

We lead a whole host of free, weekly walks across Lancashire.

Our walks are open to all abilities and we put the difficulty gradings on all walks to ensure you can select the best one for you. They are led by volunteer walk leaders, or our staff.

A real key benefit from walking is the improvement in mental wellbeing, the social interaction with others, and being in nature breathing the fresh air.

How can I take part?

If you would like to sign up for one of our walks or would like more information please contact Mick Duckworth, our Active Lifestyles Officer – his detail are below.

New walkers will be asked to fill in a registration form before going on their first walk. This can be done just before the walk so please turn up 10 minutes earlier to your first walk and if possible contact us beforehand.

We are always on the look out for enthusiastic people that would like to get involved in our walking project. If you would like to get involved please contact Mick Duckworth on the details below.
