Get Active and Social - Join our Walking Groups
Finding friends to walk with can be a challenge. Maybe your diaries clash, you walk at different speeds or you prefer different terrains.
Covid Safe
Our small groups meet in open spaces so we’re Covid secure!
Friendly Members
Walking regularly with others is a great way to make good friends.
Improve health and fitness
Exercising outdoors is a great way to get your fitness back and improve health.
Why walk in a group?
Walking is a great form of exercise but walking alone doesn't always hold the same appeal.
If you want to get out and explore while widening your social circle, you can achieve both goals as a member.
When and Where
Weekday Walks
Our lunchtime and evening walks take you around the most scenic trails of Cheltenham but in shorter time and keeping closer to home.

Saturday walks all over Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds
We have longer walks on Saturdays. These are generally 2-3 hours and stop off or finishing at a pub for lunch.
Sunday Morning Local Walks
Start your Sunday with a walk with friends, followed by a coffee in the new Heritage Deco Cafe next to the Pump Room.
Most walks are 60-90 minutes

Walking with others and seeing new places
I joined the walking group in May and have enjoyed a number of walks, both weekday and Saturday. I enjoy the opportunity to exercise with others, meet new people and see new places. I find everyone to be very friendly, encouraging and a great community to be part of.
One of the best decisions I've made after struggling with anxiety and depression
Joining the group was one of the best decisions I've made after struggling with anxiety and depression over the last couple years.
I've been so lucky through the walking group to meet people who I now regard as some of my closest friends who I couldn't be without. It's great to get out and meet new people. It's one thing I really look forward to every week after work!
I'm no longer ashamed or embarrassed about my red face after exercise which was a major stumbling block for me when exercising with others!
The People Are Lovely
The people I have met are really lovely. Everyone is so friendly and it doesn’t matter how fast or slow you are, there is something for all abilities. The group is well run and a wonderful way to incorporate exercise and being sociable.
SO GLAD I JOINED
SO GLAD I JOINED
Following a move to Cheltenham 18 months ago, I wanted to make new friendships, get fitter and explore the local area.
The walking club ticks all these boxes, everyone is so friendly, I’m feeling fitter and I’ve found some new and interesting places to walk and talk!
So glad I joined. Jean
