About Us
The Kenilworth Walking Women is a walking group just for women. We are a large, friendly group of women, of all ages, who meet every Tuesday evening at 7pm, for regular exercise, to catch up with friends or meet new people. Some of us also visit the near by pub for a well earned drink afterwards! The group is open to all women in the local area.
We meet at Abbey Fields car park, at 7pm, every Tuesday evening, in all weathers, all year round. We walk for an hour, which is about 3 miles or 5km, at a steady pace.
During the lighter evenings we will occasionally walk a bit further.
New members always welcome!

Join our Facebook Group
Most of our group communications are done through our Facebook Group – The Kenilworth Walking Women.
Every Friday the following week’s walking route is posted in the Facebook group, along with a map and the streets we will be walking.
If you are on Facebook we recommend you join the group. Any extra walks or activities will be posted there.
Routes will also be added to this website, as well as details of any extra walks or social activities.
Reasons to join the Kenilworth Walking Women
Exercise
If you enjoy walking then this group is perfect for you. We walk every week, rain or shine, all year round. During the dark evenings we stick to the street lights and walk for 1 hour, approximately 3 miles, 5km. We walk at a steady pace, not too fast but not too slow.
In the warmer, lighter evenings we will occasionally walk further and into the countryside.
Safety
If you want to walk, but don’t want to walk on your own, then safety in numbers is what our walking group can offer.
The Kenilworth Walking Women is a large walking group so there will always be plenty of walking company every week.
Socialising
If you are new to Kenilworth or just looking to meet new people, joining our walking group is a great way of meeting other local ladies.
As well as walking, a group of us always head to the Abbey Fields pub after our walk. This is a great way of making new friends or just being sociable, if you’ve had a busy week or been indoors a lot.
Wellbeing
If your are feeling lonely, stuck inside too much, recovering from an illness or many other reasons, joining a walking group is a wonderful way to boost your wellbeing.
Physical activity enhances our sense of wellbeing – it increases our mental alertness, energy and positive mood. Walking can even help reduce stress and anxiety.
Walking in a group gives you the added feeling of safety, and by joining the Kenilworth Walking Women, there are always plenty of us to talk to.

Here are some of our walks so far this year….
Spring and summer walks
In the warmer weather and long summer nights, we will be able to do the occasional longer walk on a Tuesday evening, and plan some extra longer walks at weekends when the weather is fine and the ground isn’t boggy!
Walks around Kenilworth Castle, the Millennium Walk, Kenilworth Common, the Greenway plus many more will all be a possibility.
As the group members get to know each other it is nice to take the occasional social trip out together. We’ve been to see Shelia’s Island at the Talisman Theatre and we’re currently planning our group Summer Picnic in Abbey Fields in July.
Special guests
In the summer we’re planning to invite along some guests to add some interest to our walks. If you are a local photographer, forager, bird watcher or bat expert and would like to accompany our walking group to give us a talk about your specialist subject, while we walk, please get in touch! We’d love to hear from you.
