Join us for a Womens Wellness Walk at Hawkinge!
Overview:
Join us for a stunning walk from Hawkinge near Folkestone, exploring the North Downs with breathtaking coastal views.
Route Details:
Starting in Hawkinge, this scenic walk follows sections of the North Downs Way, offering outstanding views over the coastline and surrounding countryside. We’ll walk through open chalk grasslands, peaceful woodland trails, and rolling farmland. Along the way, we’ll visit two trig points, marking some of the highest vantage points in the area, perfect for soaking in panoramic landscapes. This moderately challenging route includes some steady climbs at a sensible calm pace but rewards us with far-reaching across the coast.
New or nervous to come solo?
We totally understand how you feel! In fact, around 80% of our members come to the group solo, and most of them make friends in no time at all. Our group is warm, welcoming, and supportive, and you’ll quickly find that everyone is open to chatting and getting to know each other. We have a wide variety of life experiences among us, so there’s always something to connect over. You’ll be at ease before you know it! Walking with us is not just about keeping active; it’s about making new friends and building a supportive community within nature. We can’t wait to welcome you!

We run our Women’s Wellness Walks for every stage of life, offering a safe, supportive space to connect with nature and with each other. Whether you’re navigating the highs and lows of life or seeking community during the stages of menopause, these walks are for you. We provide full support for all stages of menopause, creating an inclusive and understanding environment.
This walk isn’t just about enjoying beautiful scenery; it’s about fostering friendships, empowering one another, and finding strength in community. Research shows that spending time outdoors improves mood, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being. What better way to reap these benefits than by joining a group of like-minded women in an uplifting and supportive setting?
Walk Leader: For those who don’t know my story, I experienced a medical menopause in my 20s, which came with a long list of symptoms. This journey led me to train in menopause and nutrition, and I’ve since been invited to participate in both medical and retail panels to discuss the physical and mental impacts of menopause. Our walks provide a safe space to share openly if you wish, or simply to enjoy being in nature together.
