Steps to Wellbeing walks
Our Steps to Wellbeing walking programme offers free, volunteer-led walks which explore Sevenoaks District’s stunning countryside and woodlands.
Our walk routes range from 45-90 minutes (2.25 and 4 miles) and these routes can involve hills and uneven walking terrains, so are not suitable for wheelchairs or buggies.
No need to book, just turn up and enjoy the walk!
