MID SUSSEX HEALTHY WALKS

The Park Rangers run a free programme of Healthy Walks across the District. The walks are designed to help you get fit, explore new areas of the beautiful Mid Sussex countryside and to help you get to know other like-minded people in a safe and supportive environment.

Some of the health benefits of walking include reducing high blood pressure, lowering the risk of certain types of cancer and heart disease, and helping to control body weight. Walking can also be great for mental health and to escape the stresses of everyday life.

All the walks are led by trained walk leaders. We have a leader at the front and a back marker at the back so we won't leave anyone behind! The Mid Sussex Healthy Walks scheme is an accredited scheme under the Walking for Health national initiative that is run by Natural England. Visit the Walking the Way to Health website for more information on the national scheme and to find out more about the many wonderful benefits of walking!

Please remember to wear stout boots and appropriate clothing for the weather, this is especially important for levels 2-5 which may involve muddy paths! There is no need to book a place on a walk, just check the prgramme and turn up on the day! New walkers will be required to fill in a short health questionnaire, and we do advise that if you are unsure about walking to check with your doctor first.
