Nordic Walking Devon is run by Fiona Swan, who loves nothing more than walking and exploring Devon and Dartmoor. ​​​​

​

In addition to being a Nordic walking instructor and Hill and Moorland Leader, Fiona is also a Personal Trainer, Physical Activity & Health Specialist with CIMSPA (the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity). 

​

Her particular blend of skills is very much about how you combine walking with health and fitness. The physical and mental health benefits of being outdoors are well-documented, and the simple act of connecting with nature can have a considerable impact on health.
