How you can get involved
Melton Walking Group is your local
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
