Guided Walks in and around Charnwood 2017 July - December Fusion Lifestyle and Charnwood Borough Council’s walks have been nationally accredited with the Walking for Health scheme, underlining the fact that our programme is of the highest standard.

Our graded walks are accessible and suitable for all. Group walks are fun, social, and offer a chance to chat and catch up with friends, or to make new ones.

This carving is a pictorial representation of an idea commonly found on the Swithland Slate headstones of this period: the futility of earthly, as opposed to Heavenly, rewards.
