A VARIETY of guided walks take place every week in Wirral.
‘Wellbeing Walks’ are a great way to get moving, stay active and socialise in some of our borough’s green spaces.
The sessions are free and no booking is required. Simply turn up 10 minutes before a walk is due to start ad introduce yourself to the trained volunteer.
