Ramblers Wellbeing Walks 

Walking is a simple way to become more active. It can help improve your physical and mental wellbeing, support a healthy weight, and boost your mood.

Feel Good Suffolk, in partnership with Ramblers UK, are offering free, organised group walks across Suffolk.

Whether you enjoy a gentle stroll along the Suffolk coast or a walk through a local country park, there’s a Wellbeing Walk to suit different ages, abilities and fitness levels.

Many of our volunteer leaders first joined as walkers themselves. They understand the benefits of walking and enjoy helping others discover the positive difference it can make to health and wellbeing.

We are also looking for new volunteers to lead walks so we can add new routes across Suffolk. If you are interested pleased email our Wellbeing Walks coordinator sonny.baldry@ipswich.gov.uk 

All walks are:

Free to join

Led by friendly, trained volunteer walk leaders

Along easy-to-follow, tried-and-tested routes

A great way to meet new people and enjoy being outdoors
