Rural Moves
Rural Moves encourages everyone to move more, sit less.
You can either call our main number 01275 222700 to book your place and we will call you back. Or you could speak to you local Village Agent who will tell you more. All walkers will be asked a few questions to see which walk is the most suitable for you current level of mobility and fitness. If you wish to take things very gently, we can also arrange to meet you at you house for a gentle stroll close by.
This project has been made possible by a collaboration with Wesport who are managing the Tackling Inequalities fund for Sports England and The National Lottery.
