Gentle walks around the town centre with a friendly group.

Every Wednesday, the group meet at the United Church, East Street, Bridport for a 20 to 40 minute health walk (mainly flat firm surfaces, might include gentle slopes but no steps or stiles).

There is also a health walk on the first and third Thursday of the month starting at 9:45am, at the United Church, for a 60 minute walk which may include moderate slopes, steps and uneven surfaces.

Walkers and leaders socialise nearby after the Wednesday and Thursday walks at a cafe.

No dogs on the walks, except assistance dogs.

Please do not attend during adverse weather conditions.
