Simply Walk is a friendly, welcoming walking programme run by Buckinghamshire Council, offering over 70 guided walks across Buckinghamshire. Our trained volunteer walk leaders and backmarkers ensure you can walk at your own pace, so there's no need to worry about being left behind. We encourage you to choose the walk level that best suits your ability.
Who can join? 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. Simply Walk is designed to be inclusive and supportive for everyone.
Walk levels:
- Level 1: Flat ground, no stiles, up to 45 minutes
- Level 2: Occasional stile and gradient, up to 60 minutes
- Level 3: Occasional stile and gradient, 60 to 90 minutes
- Level 4: More advanced, 90 minutes plus, possibly over more demanding terrain (not officially a 'health walk' but still part of the scheme)
How to register: Please register online before attending your first walk. If you can't register online, paper forms are available from walk leaders on-site.
Upcoming walks: View our calendar to find walks near you. Note: Not all walks operate on bank holidays.
Dogs: Only registered assistance dogs are allowed on the walks.
Volunteering: We're looking for Volunteer Walk Leaders! All training is free, and no previous experience is required—just enthusiasm and a willingness to help. First aid training is also available.
Donations: Funding is not guaranteed every year. If you value Simply Walk, please consider donating online or by cheque to help us continue offering this service. All funds go directly to maintaining the programme.
