Walking is one of the simplest and most effective forms of exercise you can do, and it’s easy to get started with 15 local walks in Warwick District.

The walks are led by volunteers from the local community, who help people enjoy moderate exercise while making new friendships and reducing social isolation.

A recently trained walk leader from Lillington, Pete Sullivan, said:

“I first joined Ramblers as just a regular walker, then I was given the opportunity to train to become a Wellbeing Walk leader. The training was very simple and was completed within a day. I love leading walks as every walk is different and you get to meet so many new faces and form friendships, as well as enjoying your local community and getting exercise and a good bit of fresh air. I recommend the ramblers wellbeing walks and highly recommend it if anyone who would like to train as a walk leader volunteer.”

Anyone interested in leading a walk in their area is encouraged to contact Joanna Dagg, Community Development Officer at joanna.dagg@warwickdc.gov.uk

The next walk leader training session is scheduled to take place on Monday 15 September 2025, so email Joanna Dagg to book your space.
