Frome Walking Groups
Joining a walking group is a fun and exciting way of keeping active. There are many different groups around Frome that offer different routes, some are led by qualified walking instructors and others are community led.
Frome Walkers
The Frome Walkers Group, formerly known as the Frome Rights of Way, look after the interests of all walkers by campaigning for greater access to the countryside. By joining, you will give them a stronger voice when speaking out for all walkers. They meet on the 2nd Sunday of each month for an afternoon walk. Planned walks can be found on our events pages.
Frome Health Walks
Frome Health walks are carried out on a regular basis for well-being. All walks are free of charge and are led by a team of Volunteer Walk Leaders. There are varying lengths of walks for you to choose from. See the current Frome Health Walks programme for February – May 2023 here. If you’d like to walk further afield, there are also Mendip Health Walks to choose from. Find the Mendip Health Walks programme for February – May 2023 here.
