Walk your way around the borough

Erewash Borough Council, in partnership with Walk Derbyshire, provides free volunteer-led walks in Erewash. These include Gentle Walks and Health Walks.

Weekly walks include Long Eaton Health Walks. The group meet every Monday outside The Town Hall, Long Eaton at 10am.

Other walks in the borough include: Tuesdays: 10.30am Stanley Walk, meet at Stanley post office, 30-60 minutes. Fridays: 10.15am Sandiacre Strollers - meet outside Sandiacre Library, 30 - 60 minutes. Every third Thursday: 10:30am Gentle Walks, at various locations.

Walking is a great way to explore the countryside, take up exercise and meet new people.

Erewash is the perfect place to explore a number of walks that take place across the borough every week, which cater for people of all fitness levels and abilities.

The Monday Strollers start from Victoria Park Leisure Centre in Ilkeston at 10:15am. These weekly walks are short walks led by trained volunteers which provide gentle exercise to improve health in a friendly atmosphere.

Walks are usually flat and take about an hour. Everyone walks at their own pace, as trained leaders walk at the pace of the slowest walkers.
