Walking in Barnet's Greenspaces
This Barnet Climate Action Month, we are highlighting Barnet’s ambitions achieve a more green, active and healthier borough by promoting opportunities to go walking in Barnet.
Along with health benefits, walking creates an opportunity to spend time in Barnet's many parks and open spaces which are an important part of what makes Barnet a green and family friendly borough. Looking after our green spaces is a vital part of achieving Barnet's sustainability and Net Zero ambitions.
Health Walks
Led by friendly instructors, Health Walks offer a great way to exercise outdoors and meet new people.
Join us this May to celebrate Walking Month with a FREE health walk. Everyone welcome - just turn up and get walking!
Organised Walking Groups
There are many other walks across the borough that are offered by partner organisations including Age UK Barnet, Better and U3A. Please check directly with each partner organisation for details.
The Ramblers : Britain’s walking charity
Whether you’re a wild-weather wanderer, a solitary stroller, a hardcore hiker or a weekend walk-and-talker, there’s no one way to ramble.
And there’s no one way to support the work that The Ramblers do. Donate to fund action on the ground, use your voice to campaign for change, or volunteer to help others enjoy the outdoors.
