Simply Walk
We offer over 60 walks across Buckinghamshire.
Our trained volunteer walk leaders and backmarkers are there to help you walk at your own pace, with no need to worry about being left behind. However, try and attend the level of walk you feel you can do.
All new walkers are welcome whether you are fit and active, haven't exercised in a long time, or have been advised to join by a doctor.

Not all our walks operate on bank holidays.
Levels of walking
There are 4 different levels of walks to choose from depending on your physical health, which are:
- level 1: Get started with walks over flat ground and no stiles (up to 45 minutes)
- level 2: Occasional stile and gradient (up to 60 minutes)
- level 3: Occasional stile and gradient (between 60 to 90 minutes)
- level 4: Occasional stile and gradient (90 minutes plus)
Level 4 walks are the most advanced walks. They are more than 1.5 hours and possibly over more demanding terrain. Although they are not officially a 'health walk', they are still part of the Simply Walk scheme.

Before attending your first walk, you need to register for Simply Walk online.

In the event of poor weather, you can check for cancellations.
Only registered assistance dogs are allowed on the walks.
