It’s free, easy to do and one of the simplest ways of getting more active.

It is recommended that we take 10,000 steps every day. There are a range of programmes available in Dudley to help people to increase their activity levels through walking more. Whether you want to walk as part of a group, or on your own there is something for everyone.

Wellbeing Walks

Ramblers Wellbeing Walks Dudley is a programme of short, friendly walks taking place across the borough. Our walks are suitable for different fitness levels and no one is left behind. It’s a great way to be active, socialise and have fun.
