Walk and Talk Groups (Dartford)

Group of people walking in the park

The Walk and Talk groups across Dartford are organised by the One You Kent team, in partnership with Dartford Borough Council. These free weekly health walks are led by trained volunteer walk leaders and are open to all ages and abilities. The short social walks last around an hour and are great for people getting little or no exercise, recovering or suffering from an illness, or lacking in confidence.

There’s no need to book. Just turn up dressed for the weather, including comfortable footwear.
