These special park walks in Aylesbury and Wycombe offer everyone an opportunity to be a little more active by walking and exploring the local parkland or area.

There are currently four Local Park Walks in Aylesbury and five in Wycombe. Please download a map for details. The longer walks have a display board to show you the route.

Each route is then marked out by a set of wooden posts each with a QR code. Simply scan the code with your mobile phone.

BetterPoints Bucks is a new app that rewards you when you make healthy lifestyle changes.

Points earned can be redeemed with local shops and businesses or donated to a choice of charities.

There are three simple steps to earn the rewards:

1. Download the BetterPoints Bucks app

2. Complete activities such as walking, cycling or wheeling and collect points

3. Spend your vouchers on the high street or donate to charity

We offer over 60 walks across Buckinghamshire.

Our trained volunteer walk leaders and backmarkers are there to help you walk at your own pace, with no need to worry about being left behind. However, please try and attend the level of walk you feel you can do.

All new walkers are welcome whether you are fit and active, haven’t exercised in a long time, or have been advised to join by a doctor.

Healthy changes start with little changes.

If you’re overweight, losing weight has many health benefits. It might help reduce the risk of developing health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Making small, simple changes to what and how much you are eating and drinking can really help you lose the pounds.
