Welcome to
Wellness Walks
We run a range of walks in the wonder of nature that are totally free to participants ~ we intend for as many people as possible to be able to benefits from safe, supported walks that leave them feeling better than they were before.
All of our walks are led by leaders who aren’t just qualified in keeping you physically safe – but are also trained to support your mental wellbeing, to facilitate conversations, listen to you & empower you.
Can Anybody come along?
We design our walks to be as accessible as possible – some may have restrictions due to their funding or location – but many are open to all on a first come basis. We also offer programs that are targeted at specific groups or to meet an individual’s unique requirements.
Where are the walks?
We’re a nationally active charity – so currently we have walks happening from the Scottish Highlands all the way down to Hertfordshire across to Wales and lots and lots of places inbetween!
Our interactive map on the ‘find a walk’ page is the best way to see whats currently happening!
The Magic of Wellness Walks
There are some things we all simply know – even if they’re easily forgotten when life is tough.
How often after a bad day do you think “I need to go for a walk” or “I need to be outside” or even “I wish I had someone to talk to about…”
Walking in nature makes our senses come alive. Talking with someone specifically trained to listen lets us actually be heard. Meeting others on their own journey lets us know we’re not alone.
It’s been scientifically proven that engaging with others in the outdoors is hugely beneficial for our mental and physical health. Whilst our walks are not counselling sessions they are undeniably therapeutic – participants in 2022 reported feeling an average of 43.98% better after a Wellness Walk!
All of these things are part of the magic of Wellness Walks….

Courses with wellness walks
In 2024 we formally transferred our Mountain Training course providership to Wellness Walks. Why?
As a charity we want everything we do to have a strong ethos of giving back & helping others. But as a charity we also need to have some commercial activity to be able to cover our running costs, to support all the not directly funded activities we offer – but we still want the focus of those activities to be helping others, supporting diversity and engaging the under-represented.
So, whilst our courses will be the same price as any other provider, every full course we’re able to run will fund a totally free place for someone on one of our personal skills courses.
Some examples:
- Personal Skills
CPD Sessions
- Mountain Training Qualifications
Hill & Moorland Leader

Don't take our word for it...
The people who come on our walks all say it so much better than we can….
