How you can get involved
‘Walk with Me’ is a series of local health
walks, led by trained walk leaders in
association with Bury Sport & Physical
Activity Service and the National
Walking for Health Scheme. Our walks
are free, fun and friendly – perfect to
help you get active and meet new
people. If you’d like to take part, all you
have to do is come along to the start
point of one of our walks a few minutes
early, so that one of our trained walk
leaders can take your details. Then
you’re free to take part in as many walks
as you like, as often as you like. If you
want to know more before you start,
just get in touch via our email address at
walkwithme@bury.gov.uk or call us on

About the walk...
There are several pleasant country walks
which involve climbing out of the valley and
using footpaths which occasionally can be a
little rough and muddy at times. However,
if there has been a significant spell of bad
weather the walk tends to stay close to the
village along quiet country roads.
About the walk...
This walk is led near to the Kirklees trail which
goes along a disused railway line. However, to
make an interesting circular walk we often
include some marked footpaths and quiet roads.
The walk is mainly on level terrain, with
occasional cobbled areas and/ or muddy paths if
we venture into the woods, so please wear
appropriate footwear.

About the walk...
This woodland, water & lake circular walk
lasts usually just over an hour. There are
some uneven surfaces which can be a little
muddy at times, especially in bad weather.
The walk usually includes walking through
areas of Prestwich Clough, Drinkwater Park
and Waterdale Park, although the route
may vary depending on weather
:conditions.
About the walk...
This gentle woodland walk led through areas of
Prestwich Clough is aimed at a beginner level for
those who are who are either new to exercise or
who haven’t been active in a while and are
wishing to return to some gentle form of physical
activity. There are some uneven surfaces which
can be a little muddy at times, so please wear
appropriate footwear.
Progression Walks...
If you have enjoyed walking with us on our
Walking for Health Walks or maybe you
already walk regularly and feel ready to
progress or try something new, then maybe
you would like to join one of our Nordic
Walking Groups?
Nordic Walks...
Although these walks are not part of the
Walking for Health scheme (as they require
the use of Nordic Poles), there is no doubt
that these walks are still of great benefit to
our health & wellbeing. Furthermore, as we
will provide the Nordic Poles for you, there’s
no need to worry about the expense of
additional equipment, just remember to book
your place in advance using the contacts
below & bring along a pair of comfortable
shoes and a waterproof coat if you have one.
