Walking is great for your health and puts a spring in your step. Westbank's Health Walks offer regular short walks each week across various locations across Exeter and Devon. 

Anyone can turn up and join in – it’s free, fun and friendly.  Explore the outdoors, get to know the local area and meet new friends too.

General Information

• Please wear suitable clothing, durable, supportive footwear, and bring a bottle of water. As these are health walks, we ask that you do not smoke during the walk.
• Most walks include a social coffee stop either during or at the end of the walk, at the walker’s own expense.
