Malpas Walking for Health Scheme

Malpas Walking for Health Wellbeing Walks

A good walk is so much more than just stretching your
legs. It’s a chance to unwind, meet new people and discover nature on your
doorstep.

Malpas Walking for Health Scheme started in April 2014
and offers a simple and free way to get out into the fresh air, be more active
and meet other people in a friendly and supportive group.

The present scheme is run by Cheshire West Wellbeing Walks in partnership with The Ramblers.

The local walks are led by a team of enthusiastic volunteer walk leaders and start from The Lion High Street Malpas at 10:15 am
with a shorter walk (approx. 45mins) on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday and a longer walk (approx. 60/80mins) on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month.

There are always options to do shorter routes depending upon individual abilities at each session.

We finish our walks at The Lion with hot drinks, biscuits and a lively chat.

If you are interested, please join us on one of the walks or if you require more information please contact:

This is what some of our walkers like about our walks apart from walking, chatting, and coffee, tea and biscuits at the end!

‘I enjoy the fellowship, meeting old and new friends and visiting my old haunts’.

‘Fresh air, open spaces, the conversations between different friends and meeting new walkers’.

‘I enjoy the walking and meeting the people in the group and socializing in the countryside’.

‘I like being out in the fresh air, being with old friends and reminiscing about the places we pass on the walks and our past lives’.

‘As somebody who does not see too well, I’d like to thank you for the care that is taken to ensure that I am alright.
I like the opportunity to walk across farmland footpaths and remote lanes which would not be sensible on my own at my age.
The company and the get together afterwards is important too’

‘The supervision of the walk leaders is always very diligent which makes me feel safer’

‘How lucky we are to be able to take in the beautiful view and nature on our walks’

‘Walking gives me space and a sense of freedom as well as fresh air’
