Welcome to Ivel Valley Walkers, an open and friendly community of walkers who love to explore the outdoors, stay active and connect with others. We believe in the power of walking to improve physical and mental health and we're passionate about sharing that joy with others. Whether you're an experienced walker or just starting out, we welcome you to join our group and discover the beauty of Bedfordshire and surrounding area with us. As a member of our group, you'll have access to a variety of events and activities, from scenic group walks to holidays and social events. Our experienced leaders are dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for all members and we're always happy to welcome newcomers and answer any questions you may have.
