Get Walking is your guide to getting out and about on foot in Gateshead!
Here you’ll find all you’ll need to know about walking in the borough, including led walks throughout the year which you can take part in. You’ll also find information on how to become a walk leader yourself and contact details for organisations near you who regularly hold led walks.
Walking is a fantastic way to increase your activity levels and regular exercise is known to reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. As well as the health benefits walking is free and you don’t need any specialist equipment to do it!
Every step counts, so whether you can walk half a mile or 10, join in one of our group walks with a trained leader or pick a DIY walking route from our DIY Walks page| and get walking!
All walks included in the booklet have been organised by groups across Gateshead. You can find all their contact details on our Contacts page|.
