Full details of all of our walks are available at: www.onelifesuffolk.co.uk/our-services/health-walks and click on the Stepping Out in Suffolk Calendar.

Each walk description will give you information on the grade, time, distance and other possible features on the walk so you will be able to choose walks to suit you. Stepping Out in Suffolk provide short, free Health Walks which take between 30-90 minutes. Postcodes are given for the meeting place or the nearest postcode to parking location.

Walks are graded so you can be sure they are suitable to your ability:

At your weight the start of each walk a register is filled in to keep a record of the number of walkers attending. Our Health Walks are accredited to the national body Ramblers, Walking for Health. They are led by trained volunteer walk leaders to ensure that they are effective and above all, enjoyable!

Please note: All walks return to the start point unless stated otherwise.

Please note: Where there is no Dog Icon against a walk this means that ONLY Registered Assistance Dogs are permitted, no other dogs will be allowed on that walk. All dogs must be kept on a short lead.

Please note: Extreme weather conditions may result in a walk being cancelled. If this happens, or you would like to check please see the website or contact Client Services on 01473 718193.

The 2019 Suffolk Walking Festival kicks off on Saturday 11th May and it’s set to be the most exciting festival to date. Now in its 12th year, the walking festival has grown and grown to become one of Britain’s largest walking festivals and the only one in East Anglia. Last year participants took an incredible 24 million steps across Suffolk on over 100 walks in all corners of the county. This year’s event offers over 120 walks and activities over 3 weeks. New for 2019 are a walk with a sheepdog on the fascinating and wild expanse of Orford Ness; a walk to Eye Airfield followed by a ride in a vintage military vehicle to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day; and a Night Safari in the ancient woodland of Priestley Wood. Plus many, many more. The festival offers walks for all abilities from short strolls and health walks, to longer distance hikes and a challenge walk, covering some 80 miles across the county. The Festival Fringe are a series of events that get you close to nature in the very heart of the countryside. There are photography courses, art classes, mindfulness walks and a wild forage to collect the ingredients for your own cream tea! The festival dates are Saturday 11th May to Sunday 2nd June. Tickets go on sale in early March. To find out more visit www.suffolkwalkingfestival.co.uk, or Like their Facebook page.
