The Severn Strollers Walking for Health scheme was set up in Bridgnorth in 2003 as part of the national Walking for Health Initative. Walks are split into Stollers and Striders walks.
The Severn Strollers Walking for Health scheme operates in many different areas across the district.
Why is walking good for you?
Gives you more energy,
