Walking the way to health
Health walks are aimed at people who have been advised to take some form of exercise to help with medical conditions i.e. heart disease, diabetes, rheumatism, etc. You don't need to book you can just pick the walk you would like to do and turn up! Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and appropriate outdoor clothing.
There are walking groups in each of the major towns and villages across Northumberland. With such a beautiful county to explore you will have your pick of amazing scenery when you take part in a health walk.
