FREE health walks are being run in Frome to help local people stay fit and healthy at no cost.
On Mondays (excluding Bank Holidays) a short easy walk sets off from the Cheese & Grain at 10.30am and walks 1-1.5 miles in 30-45 minutes.
On Wednesdays a slighter more difficult 45-50 minute walk takes place from Frome Medical Centre starting at 9.30am.

On Friday 12th January, meet at the Kennet + Avon Canal Trust Cafe for a 3.5miles walk with Terry along towpath, riverside and field paths including a hill. If that seems too much for you, there is a shorter option with Gill along the towpath and riverside.
