There are two health walks in Weymouth which are mostly flat.
The route taken on the day is agreed at the beginning of the walk and is dependent on the ability and preference of those attending.
All abilities are welcome and the walk can stretch out to different paces. There is no pressure and no one is ever left behind as the pace of the walk is dictated by the rear walker. Our walks last approximately 45 minutes.
Dogs on a discretionary basis, please get in touch with the local contact before attending.
| Town/village | Meeting place | Type of walk | Day | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weymouth | Meet between the Jubilee Clock and Prom Cafe at the advertising drum | We walk along the Promenade towards Greenhill Gardens (where there is an incline into the gardens) or the Stone Pier and return to the beginning | Thursdays | 10:30am |
On the third Tuesday of the month there is a longer walk of up to four miles. The walks start at 2pm. The start location changes each month. Duration is approximately 80 to 90 minutes. The walk will include non-pavement paths and through fields, so please wear appropriate footwear.

| Tuesday 15 April | Wild Chesil Centre near Ferrybridge (DT4 9XE car park / bus route no. 1). | We will meet outside the glass doors of the centre - there are toilets and a cafe at the centre. We will set off at 2pm walking to (and back from) Portland Castle - along the path by the beach and Osprey Quay - and listening out for skylarks!! The route is flat but will include uneven surfaces and loose stones, so please wear suitable footwear. Likely duration is 80 - 90 mins depending on our pace on the day |
If you are a new walker to the Weymouth health walk scheme, we ask that you complete an annual Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire on arrival. Please allow an extra 10 minutes to complete the form. We ask you to complete this once a year or if your health condition changes.
