Epping Forest Health Walks
Epping Forest are now leading Health Walks, a brisk walk that
you can undertake on a regular basis, in a social, supported
environment to improve your health and increase your activity
levels. Brisk walking (i.e more than just a stroll) is proven to
have a benefit to cardiovascular health (the heart). Our organised
Health Walks offer a chance to enjoy Epping Forest, and realise
many benefits such as reduced stress, make lasting friendships and
feel fitter. Each of our walks are led by Natural England trained
Health Walk leaders, who will know how to cater for all abilities
and to ensure all walkers are comfortable, yet challenged. See our
summer programme below and call us to book your Health Walk.
