4. Nordic walking at Corfe Castle

Try out Nordic walking at Corfe Castle, this Saturday. Nordic walking is suitable for all levels of fitness and is enjoyed by athletes and casual walkers alike. Using walking poles, participants engage more muscles than usual walking, whilst being a low-impact way of getting around. Coffee and a cake are also provided afterwards within the ticket price.
