Healthy walks
Countryside walks for a healthy lifestyle
The Staffordshire Moorlands healthy walks are organised by local volunteers and supported by Lex Leisure who operate our leisure centres. The walks are around the Staffordshire Moorlands, Peak District and Derbyshire and Cheshire borders.
When are the walks?
The walks are usually on the third and last Sunday of each month, with the occasional midweek walk. The walk on the last Sunday is a shorter walk, normally about 4 miles which takes just a couple of hours. The walks are free you just need to let us know that you are coming. You can reserve your place using the Walk the Moorlands Eventbrite link walkthemoorlands.eventbrite.co.uk . Walks are available to book from 1 month in advance of the date of the walk.

Staffordshire Moorlands Walking Festival
We have now organised three Walking Festivals since restarting it in 2022. The most recent built on the success of previous festivals with over 900 visitors enjoying 50 walks and events put on by local organisations and walk leaders in 2024, showcasing what a great place the Staffordshire Moorlands is to walk and to visit.
The 2025 Festival will have more exciting, interesting and intriguing walks. It is scheduled to take place from 25 April - 5 May 2025, so get the dates in your diary.
