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!

Our next walk is in an area near Spetisbury, on Saturday 14th November, 2026, start time 10.30am

From Poole take the A350 heading northwards towards Blandford.

In Spetisbury village please beware of the speed cameras! 

As you are driving through Spetisbury High Street there is a church, then a Primary School, both on your left.

Turn left after the school and park up on the left, near the school.

The walk is under 3 miles and may only take an hour. There are a couple of slopes and 2 stiles but the  surface underfoot is firm. There is a grass field to walk through.

No rain is forecast after Wednesday but take your walking shoes /boots and sticks for support. Water is always an essential. 

There are a couple of shorter walking routes available too.

Please confirm your intention to join the walk (as many of you do) then we know if anyone is missing.
