It is almost impossible not to feel good when we are walking outdoors, it is a natural mood booster!
And, the great news is, we do not need to walk far or fast to feel its effects on our health and wellbeing. Simply getting out is a tonic for our minds and bodies, and it can be sociable too.
We, along with partners, offer a range of walking routes and free guided walks across the district to help you keep active.
Ramblers Wellbeing Walks make it easier to start walking and staying active, and you will never be short of good company!
Find a local Wellbeing Walk on the Rambles website.
