Walking 4 Health in Bedfordshire

Walking is good for mind and body. It's cheap and most of us can find time to do it. Walking 4 Health in Bedfordshire is co-ordinating an increasing number of health walks throughout the county.
Health walks last up to about an hour, and are led by people who have been specially trained. Walk at your own pace in the company of others.

Guided Walks in the Forest of Marston Vale

There is a regular programme of walks, throughout the year, led by Forest Volunteers. Some are free, but most have a small charge with reductions for Forest Volunteers and Members.
Simple strolls, bird walks, health walk, wildlife walks and more.
Most require booking in advance
