Walks and hikes 

Family walking - British Heart FoundationFrom tough hikes up the UK’s highest mountains to gentle strolls through beautiful parkland, we have a wide range of fundraising walks to suit walkers of all ages and abilities.

Put your heart into walking

Whatever your age, size or physical condition, you are likely to benefit from being more active. Walking is one of the best ways to get your dose of healthy activity.

Just 30 minutes of walking spread throughout the day will help to keep your heart healthy and strengthen your muscles. It’s easy, and you can do it anywhere, at any time - either alone or with friends.

Our walking guide 'Put your heart into walking' has practical tips and a personal walking plan to help you live your life as actively as possible.

Keep track of your steps with our pedometer and calorie counter featuring a 7-day total workout memory recall. For extra help on difficult terrain, our 4-section telescopic hiking pole provides you with better balance, traction and posture. 

Love walking

By sparing just a few hours a week we are helping make a difference to the lives of people with heart disease in our local community.

Helen Wigg and her husband Graeme, from Weston Super Mare are keen BHF supporters as their daughter sadly passed away due to a heart defect three years ago. They recently organised a three mile sponsored walk along Weston Super Mare’s seafront.

Helen said: “Having experienced the effects of heart disease first hand, my husband and I both appreciate that much more needs to be done in the way of research, which is why we have been so keen to volunteer our time to the BHF".
