Health walks
Let your feet hit the street with our local health walks!
As part of our Active West Lancs scheme, our GP Referral Officers and Rangers used to lead weekly 'health walks' in Banks, Burscough, Skelmersdale and Ormskirk. The walks were suitable for beginners and those returning to exercise.
Now that the funding for Active West Lancs has ceased, our staff no longer lead the walks. However, our regular walkers form these groups still meet up and take part in a local, community lead walk each week.
If you would like to find out more and maybe join one of these walks or volunteer to become a Wellbeing Walk Leader, please contact Jenny Deacon on 01695 583340
In addition, our Rangers lead some longer walks across West Lancs. These walks are between 4 and 12 miles in length. No booking is required. For information and details on venues and meeting points, please see our events pages.
