To make sure everyone's included, there are two routes to choose from on the day of Memory Walk.

A shorter 3.5km route is a gentle stroll along the sea front which is suitable for Memory Walkers of all ages. This route is suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs with assistance.

The longer 5km route is a little more challenging, and will take you further along Bournemouth sea front.
