Highway to Health

Heart Health / Get Fit

Let's go walking! Highway to Health is a simple innovative scheme supported by Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke (NICHS) which aims to encourage people of all ages to walk for leisure and good health. It uses attractive pole signs at one kilometre intervals on an established route.

A regular programme of walking:

  • Keeps your heart strong
  • Improves muscle strength
  • Helps maintain your weight 
  • Makes you feel good.
  • And above all walking is fun.
