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!
Summer 2026
Walks start at 10:30
NOTE: New walkers please bring your PHSG membership card with you.

NEXT WALK – Saturday 30th May 10:30am
Houns Tout
This is a great walk through woods and across fields with some beautiful views especially when you get nearer the coast. The walk for those wanting a short walk is about half a mile further along this track (at a junction take the middle path, signed to “coast path”) through the woods, there were primroses, bluebells, and lots of wild garlic, also bird song. At the end of the track leave the wood through the gate and you will see the valley and possibly the sea in the distance. Those who want the longer walk can walk to the cliff top, there is a stile at the cliff but if you don’t want to climb over there is still a lovely view. This is not a circular walk, but we return the same way, the total distance is just over three miles.
Directions:-
Take the A351 via Wareham to Corfe Castle. Drive through Corfe Castle village, and just after you leave the village take the right turn to Langton Matravers, B3069. When you get to Kingston turn right at the Scott Arms and drive past the pub and the cottages, there is a junction where you take a slight left on an unmade up track, signed “Houns Tout Car Park.” The car park is a short distance along the bumpy track.
Lunch is at the Castle Inn in Corfe Castle Village. Please contact the Walking Group Coordinator if you would like to reserve a place.
