Walk for Life is back! - After the success of the 2016 Walk for Life Series, Waterford Sports Partnership is delighted to be hosting the 2017 Walk for Life Series for over 50's and people with a disability.
The five week series gives older adults and disability groups a chance to get out and get active whilst enjoying the beautiful Waterford countryside. The series of walks are suitable for leisure walkers, however we do advise you to check the accessibility of walks with us in advance. All you need is suitable walking shoes (runners are ideal) and suitable clothing for the weather.
Our second walk will take place on Tuesday 21st February
@ 10.30am along the Anne Valley Walk in Dunhill.
The Anne Valley is a flat 4.4km walk which follows the Anne Valley River which flows through the Anne Valley and meanders past many beautiful ponds to reach Dunhill Castle 2.2km from the starting point. The walk is also a protected wildlife area and if you are lucky you may see some of the many protected wildlife species such as the Heron, Kingfisher, Otter and an amazing range of other fauna and flora. The Anne Valley walk path allows comfortable wheelchair and buggy access with no steep slopes. There are several bench seats along the walk where you can sit and relax and enjoy the peace of the valley while watching the wildlife.
The meeting point in Anne Valley is the car park nearest the log cabin at 10.30am. Walkers will need suitable walking shoes (runners are ideal), warm clothing and a waterproof jacket.
