Walking Services

Mountbatten is Portsmouth’s flagship centre and among the best equipped facilities on the south coast. Swimming pools, 150-station gym, sports hall, and outdoor cycle and athletics tracks. Whether it’s running, swimming, cycling, working out or socialising with friends, this is the place to be.

This group offers short strolls to places of interest around Portsmouth for people living with dementia, recovering from stroke or brain injury, or with other vulnerabilities, along with their carers.

Looking for a friendly way to get outdoors, enjoy fresh air and meet new people? Our volunteer led walks take place all across the city, making it easier for you to start walking and staying active. Walking is a simple tonic for both mind and body - free, sociable and good for your wellbeing.
