Come and join us for a gentle stroll around the beautiful countryside surrounding the village of Mortimer. All are welcome so please come along! The walk is FREE to join and takes place on a weekly basis. If it is your first time walking with us, please sign up for the Wellbeing Walks on this website. Alternatively someone is available to help you fill out a brief form on the day. You will recognise the volunteer walk leader from their high-vis jacket.
The group meets in the car park opposite the pub (Horse and Groom), and the short walk is approximately 1 hour of walking with rest stops. There is also a regular walk (10:00am) and a longer walk (9:45am) available from the same location.
The group often meets for refreshments afterwards, all are welcome to join after the walk at the Horse and Groom Pub.
This walk is a gentle walk with limited inclines at a slower pace than the other Mortimer walks. The short walk is ideal for anyone just starting walking. Please note that the ground is likely to be muddy and uneven in some areas (weather dependent), so please wear sturdy footwear and bring a waterproof!
There is a toilet in the pub opposite the car park.
Accessibility
Unfortunately, this walk is not wheelchair accessible. Our walk leaders will try to support you to join the walk whatever your fitness level, so please do come along! If you need a slow pace, the short walk is the best place to start.
