Walk in the Park health walks utilise the beautiful and nurturing surroundings of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.

Residents are urged to join the local group in Balloch, which meets every Wednesday morning outside the Balloch Tourist Information Centre at 10.20am.

The weekly health walks create a supportive environment for people to start to enjoy the social and health benefits of being physically active.

Different routes are taken each week and all of the walks are free and aim to be accessible and interesting for everyone.

There is no need to book, simply turn up and join in.

The group usually enjoys a chat together after the walk.

There are also health walk groups in Drymen, Calendar, Aberfoyle and Killin.
