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.
Lunch afterwards at a nearby pub adds a bit of incentive!
Winter 2025/2026

NEXT WALK – Wednesday 14th January 10:30am
Upton Park, Poole BH17 7BJ
Please note that anyone wanting to take part in the walk must have renewed their PHSG membership for 2026.
Thank you to everyone who came on the last walk which was around Meyrick Park and one that very few people knew about. I’m reliably informed by Nigel that the little café there served a very good bacon sandwich!
The next walk is on Wednesday 14th January and is around Upton Country Park BH17 7BJ. Meet at the bus stop in the main carpark at 10:30 which will cost £4 for up to two hours parking. Alternatively, there is free parking in Woodpecker Drive, Creekmoor, BH17 7BJ (means you get to walk a bit farther). We are assuming you know where Upton Park is as we have visited many times for our walks. Binoculars are helpful to see the many species of birds and ducks enroute. The paths are flat but can be muddy in places if we get much more rain like today.
Lunch is booked for 12:30 at The Haymoor, 18 Culliford Crescent, Canford Heath BH17 9DW. Please let the leaders know by 9am on 12th January if you would like to reserve a seat.
