Nordic walking at Kingston Lacy
Nordic Walking is an enhancement of ordinary walking. When trained in the right technique to use the poles effectively, it increases use of the upper body and enables you to work harder but it feels easier!
- Booking essential

All of these sessions must be pre-booked with Dorset Council. Please telephone 01425 480811.
