With a passion for hiking and a love for nature, members of the group embark on regular walking adventures, discovering hidden trails, charming countryside paths, and picturesque views.
The group welcomes people of all ages and fitness levels, fostering a warm and inclusive atmosphere.
Led by experienced guides, each walk offers a chance to socialize, make new friends, and connect with like-minded individuals who share a deep appreciation for the great outdoors.
Whether it’s a leisurely local stroll or a more challenging trek through the countryside, the St Mark’s Walking Group offers a refreshing and rewarding experience for all who join.

What you can expect:
Walkers meet at 10am prompt at St Mark’s Parish Hall.*
These walks will usually be led by one of the three saints: Steven, Paul or Peter.
Walks will be between 5 and 6 miles but the difficulty depends on the terrain and the weather!
Local wet weather in the days before the walk and tides for coastal walks can all have an impact.
These walks are published walks and will not necessarily be “recce’d” by us beforehand.
You will need full gear: boots, socks, weatherproofs, hat and refreshment.
The walk will usually finish at a coffee house or pub for fellowship.
Journey is by private car so if any walker can drive and take passengers that helps; if car park or toll charges are incurred the driver would appreciate the passengers chipping in!
*We don’t want to leave anyone behind so please let us know no later than the Wednesday before the walk so that we can finalise the arrangements.
