Townley Park Accessible Amble First Steps Easy Wellness Walk Lots of reasons why we can’t walk, Long Covid, COPD, Menopause, Joint Pain, Depression, but LOTS more reasons why we should be walking. These are very accommodating walks taken at the pace of the very slowest amongst us. We’ll talk about all those barriers, but also about how we can overcome them. Tips on tackling breathlessness, etc. Towneley Park has some lovely gentle paths & woodlands for us to enjoy, so let’s use them! Wear footwear with a good grip. Bring some water, dont want you thirsty.
