Parkinson’s Walks are proving popular. We have expanded from the original idea of walking in parks, and we now include some interesting walks in the Edinburgh area.
At least two committee members or volunteers are at the meeting points. There will be options for medium paced or slower paced walks, so that everyone can walk at a pace that suits.
The next dates/places are:
Monday 30th September at 10.30. This will be a gentle walk around the Botanic Gardens, starting and finishing at the West Gate on Arboretum Place.
Future Walks: Please note that there will be no walk in August, but details of the start locations for walks on October 28 and November 25 will be made available here soon.
The walks are relatively informal. We know that Parkinson’s can put paid to the best of plans, when an ‘off day’ happens. We wanted to have an activity where people are very welcome to just turn up on the day. No need to register in advance, and worry if on the day they don’t feel able to come along. The walks are open to People with Parkinson’s and their supporters.
We look forward to enjoying good company, some exercise and fresh air. Please wear suitable clothing and footwear.
We will typically end the walk close to somewhere that people can go for a tea or coffee close to the end of the walk (which are often circular).

The July walk took place at Lauriston Castle.
The June walk had much nicer weather, in fact the warmest day of 2024… so far.
The May walk was a tad soggy, but didn’t spoil it for our intrepid walkers!
The October walk ended with a visit to the Botanics Cafe
