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.
For further information, contact the Walking Group Coordinator annephsgwalkers@gmail.com
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.
The Walking Group has 2 defibrillators that are carried by someone in each group of walkers.
Lunch afterwards at a nearby pub adds a bit of incentive!
Summer 2025
Walks start at 10:30
NOTE: New walkers please bring your PHSG membership card with you.

NEXT WALK – Saturday 1st November 10:30am
Moors Valley Country Park, BH21 6RS
Meet at 10.30 in the car park in Potterne Park, Potterne Way, Verwood, BH21 6RS.
The walk is from there into Moors Valley Country Park where there is a café for those who want to stop. The walk is on hard surfaces and flat though of course there could be wet areas.
For the non-walkers who would like coffee, the car park at Moors Vally is a hefty £5.40 for one hour or £10.50 for two hours.
Lunch is at the Tap and Railway pub, 195 Station Road, West Moors BH22 0HX. The pub opens at 11.00 so is a better option for coffee for the non-walkers or there is the Floral cafe just down the main road from the pub.
Please encourage any PHSG members you know to join us on our walks, so they too can benefit from our beautiful countryside and make new friends.
For further information, contact the Walking Group Coordinator annephsgwalkers@gmail.com
For those that attend Wednesday exercise classes there is no need to say you’re unable to attend a Wednesday walk.
