About National Walking Month 

National Walking Month, organised by Living Streets, celebrates the benefits of walking for health, wellbeing, and the environment. It's a chance to walk more, whether for fun, fitness, or your daily commute. 

Throughout May, Living Streets will share 20 ways to fit 20 minutes of walking into your day. Sign their pledge to get tips, guides, and a chance to win a £50 shopping voucher. 

Elmbridge Ramblers Wellbeing Walks 

If you don't work or do a school run, or if you want to walk in your own time, why not try the free local walks organised by the Elmbridge Ramblers Wellbeing Walks. They are led by experienced volunteers, so there is no need to plan. Walks are available for all abilities and take place daily in different parts of the borough.

We also offer: 

• Nature walks: explore local wildlife with a ranger.

• Weekly and monthly walks: various routes around Claygate, Hersham, Molesey, Walton-on-Thames, Esher Common, and the Thames towpath.
