Meet Jo – founder of Joyful Footsteps

About me

I’m Jo and I’ve always loved walking but I rediscovered the joy it brings to my life after setting myself a hill walking challenge to mark my 50^th birthday. Exploring the mountains of Scotland and immersing myself in nature ignited something in me.   

In the summer of 2026 I founded Joyful Footsteps with the aim of making walking for health and mental wellbeing more accessible to women in and around the beautiful city of Bath. 

Walking and chatting while soaking up the sights and sounds of nature is a real tonic. 

Come and join me. Take that first step.
