Naked Heart Walks
Feel the breeze on your skin as you raise money for the British Heart Foundation at a Naked Heart Walk!
What are Naked Heart Walks?
Naked Heart Walks are sponsored walks co-hosted by British Naturism and our charity partner, the BHF, to achieve our mutual goal of keeping people healthy and fit. Walking is a great way to get some exercise, and it’s even more fun in the nude! Go on … do something exhilarating!
Last year, we walked on the grounds of stately homes, in gorgeous gardens and woods – and even in the grounds of a Cold War bunker! The events gave participants a chance to ditch their clothes, meet like-minded, relaxed people and experience the joys of being naked in the great outdoors … and there are more on the way in 2023!
This year, we’re making the decision to participate in a Naked Heart Walk even easier. Everyone will be welcome! Many of the venues will allow dogs too.
Heart and circulatory diseases are the world’s biggest killers, and they can affect anyone, including you. But thanks to research the British Heart Foundation is funding, there’s hope! BHF backs the brightest scientific minds – experts with the power to find treatments and cures that could make a huge difference to your life and the lives of your family and friends.

If you are new to naturism then this is the perfect incentive to give it a go, and for a good cause. We accept some people may prefer to wear clothes; if that’s you then bring a bag as you may change your mind half way around when you see the others enjoying all that naturism brings.
-
We get wet! Normal naturist protocol applies and if it turns cold then you put on a mac. The event will still go ahead and the weather won’t dampen the fun.
-
Proper walking boots or sturdy shoes are a must (except Morecambe Bay where sandals or bare feet are better on sand). Likewise, consider a hat or sun cream if it’s hot and bring some water.

Tell the BN steward you are by yourself and they’ll make you feel welcome and introduce you to the others.

These events are for 18+ only. As for dogs, that depends on the venue so check the description.
