Walking Group

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 2nd September, 10:30am

Moreton Heath

Our next walk is on Wednesday, 2nd September 2026 on Moreton Heath at 10.30am

Directions:- 

Make your way to Bere Regis either on the A31 or A35 then take the Wool road. In about 2.75 miles (4.45km) turn right towards Clouds Hill. Continue on this road for 1.6 miles (2.5km) to a turning on the left onto a gravel track

*GO CAREFULLY as it is easy to miss! Go down this track for about 400 yards until it widens out at the junction with other tracks and park here. 

The walk is about 3 miles on gravel tracks. It’s an undulating route but there are no steep slopes.

There is a shorter walk route:- we can either choose to 

A) walk on the tracks described above – as far as the first walker asks to return, on the same route. 

OR

B) we drive to Moreton and walk there to St Nicholas Church (which has beautiful glass windows)  and / or walk to the ford. 

With this option there is a cafe in the walled garden.

LUNCH VENUE is at the Botany Bay Inne, Dorchester Road, Winterborne Zelston, DT11 9ET (on the A31)at 12.45pm

The pub opens at 11.30am
