Walking to Health Walks

About Walking to Health Walks

Walking for Health provides short, safe and sociable walks for people to get out into the fresh woodland air, stretch their legs, de-stress and increase their physical activity levels.

Walks take place every Tuesday from 12th January.

January, February and March walks meet at the Cafe at 10am and last an hour.

April, May, June, July and August walks meet at the Education Centre at 6:30pm and last around 90 minutes. These walks will be a little more strenuous and take in some of the more challenging forest trails.

Please park in the Education Centre car park. Parking here is free for people attending these walks.

How to get there:

Walking to Health Walks starts at Cafe (10am Walks) or Education Centre (6:30pm walks) in Alice Holt Forest Centre which is part of Alice Holt Forest. Farnham is the nearest town or village.

How to get there: How to get there: From the A31 turn off at Farnham onto the A325. Stay on the A325 for approximately 3 miles. From Portsmouth and Petersfield take the A325 towards Farnham. At the Halfway House Pub on the A325 turn off the main road following signs for Alice Holt Forest. The entrance is 300 yards along this road on the left. The nearest station is at Bentley. From here you can walk through Alice Holt Forest to the Forest Centre along public rights of way. Alternatively take the train to Farnham and catch a bus to Bucks Horn Oak. The Education Centre is located adjacent to the second car park you come to after entering the Forest Centre.
