Walking Group
Poole Heart Support Group Walking Group
PHSG is a Member of the British Heart Foundation Independent Heart Support Network
and affiliated to Arrhythmia Alliance – The Heart Rhythm Charity
The Walking Group is open to all PHSG members and has been in existence since 1997. It aims to develop wellbeing both physically and mentally by being outside in the natural environment and to promote new friendships and camaraderie.
If you would like any further information or fancy joining a walk, please get in touch by selecting the ‘Walking Group’ option on the Contact Us page
Walks are held every 10 days on alternate Wednesdays and Saturdays and are organised by Walking Group members who endeavour to source walks that suit all the walking members requirements.
Each walk allows for those who are able to walk up to 3 miles at a standard pace and also for those who prefer to walk around 1 mile at a slower pace.
The walks do not involve steep hills or tricky stiles and help is always at hand if required. Walking is at a pace that allows time to stop to admire views, observe the wonders of nature and enjoy bird song.
Lunch afterwards at a nearby pub adds a bit of incentive!

NEXT WALK – Wednesday 29th April 10:30am
Spyway Barn
The walk to Spyway Barn starts at 10.30am. The longer route is approximately 3 miles with a shorter route available.
Directions:- From Poole follow the A35 westwards to the Bakers Arms roundabout, taking the 1st exit onto the A351 towards Wareham, then Corfe Castle. Continue on the A351 for about 4 miles after leaving Corfe and look out for the sharp right turn to Langton Matravers, B3069.
At Langton Matravers turn left into Durnford Drove for the National Trust carpark going up a rough track passing Langton House on your left. Parking is limited in unmarked spaces so please park “neatly” or consider car-sharing with a fellow walker, especially if you’re not a NT member.
Parking is free for National Trust members but for non-members there’s a charge of £4 for cars all day and £7 for mini buses for 4 hours. I’m not sure if that means motorhomes too. Payment can be made via the JustPark app.
Lunch is booked at 1pm at the Greyhound Inn, The Square, Corfe Castle, BH20 5EZ.
The pub opens at 12 noon. This pub is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
PLEASE NOTE due to the pub being closed for 2 days prior to our walk:-
If you wish to RESEVE YOUR LUNCH SEAT please let the Walking Group Coordinator know BEFORE FRIDAY 24th APRIL so numbers can be confirmed on the Sunday as the pub does NOT open on Monday and Tuesdays.
