Walking Month
Promoting everyday walking to improve health and wellbeing. Join us for guided walks and a walking challenge. Great fun for all ages and family members.
Welcome to Erewash Walking Month which is taking place from Thursday 1 May to Saturday 31 May 2025. The programme is run to encourage everyone to get outdoors and explore the local area through walking.
There are a range of walks on offer over the course of May, whether you are interested in learning about local history, exploring nature, socialising with friends, taking a purposeful walk or simply challenging yourself. Walking can also contribute to boosting your immunity and reduces the risk of long-term health conditions.
Please note the following:
- Most of the walks are free of charge to attend
- Booking information where relevant is listed against each walk
- When walking, please ensure that you wear suitable footwear and clothing
- All children must be accompanied by an adult
- Please make sure you bring a filled water bottle and snack with you on your walk
- We are also running an 85-mile walking challenge alongside the walks organised as part of Erewash
- Walking Month – full details and registration is at the end of the details of all walks – please scroll to the end
- Erewash Borough Council is working with Walk Derbyshire to encourage people to walk more often everyday and to create a culture of walking, as part of everyday life, to help improve both physical and mental wellbeing.
The aim is to create a social movement in which Derbyshire becomes a walking county where people can join a walking group, find routes easily or walk more often from their own doorstep. Find out more about walking opportunities in your local area at walkderbyshire.org.uk/
