THOSE who are looking to improve their health and meet new people can now pick up the latest programme of walks in the Tamar Valley from local outlets or view them online.

Walks take place every Wednesday and Thursday in the Tamar Valley area and are free to join.

The walks are a great way to explore your local area and get to know new people.

The programme offers two main activities, the Walk and Talk sessions on Wednesday mornings and the Walking for Health sessions which are held on Thursday mornings and aimed at giving support and encouragement to people who are either just starting out or getting back into shape after illness or operation.

Most walks begin at the Tamar Valley Centre near Gunnislake and explore a variety of routes.

A summer special is also being held on August 24, with a free BBQ for all walkers attending the walk on Kit Hill.
