Sevenoaks District is a great place to enjoy a range of walks. The District Council with the help of partners has set up some health walks in different areas to help improve the health of residents in the area. All walks have two leaders, one at the front and one at the back, to encourage people to walk at their own pace. At least one walk leader on all walks set up by the District Council is trained by the Walking for Health Initiative. The walks are about one to one and a half miles long and last no longer than an hour.
