Join us fortnightly for a circular wellbeing walk around Whittlesey. We'll be walking every 2nd and 4th Monday of the month!
This is a social walk to meet and chat to others, and will walk at a slower pace as well as being accessible for wheelchairs, scooters and buggies. Everyone is welcome!
Route 1- The Bower
This route will go from town, past the St Mary's Church and then down the Bower path, returning back to town via Station road.
The walk will be about 50-60 minutes, depending on the pace of the group on the day. There are rest stops available on the route, the route is pathed but can be uneven in places. All crossing include drop kerbs.
This route has a few optional routes depending on the walkers and weather on the day. This includes going around the Manor field, or going further down the river and returning along station road. These options require some non pathed grass track areas. These will only be picked if all walkers are able to take these paths, or if the group can safely split (depending on walk leaders on the day), so no one is left behind.
Route 2 - The short Heritage walk
This route will go from town, past the St Mary's Church and then around the local Whittlesey Heritage Walk, returning to the town centre. Stopping at various heritage sites of interest and the heritage boards that are found on the route for information.
The walk will be about 45-50 minutes, depending on the pace of the group on the day. There are rest stops available on the route, the route is pathed but can be uneven in places. All crossing include drop kerbs.
Route 3 - The longer Heritage Walk (shortened)
This route will go through the town center to the north of the town up to Bassenhally Road and then around back to town. Taking in a number of the Heritage boards along the way such as Arnolds Lane and Clay Gate. Then coming back into the center via Church Street and Thorofare Lane.
This walk will be about 45-55 minutes, depending on the pace of the group on the day. There are rest stops and benches available on the route, the route is pathed but can be uneven in places. All crossing include drop kerbs.
