Walking
Walking is an ideal form of exercise. It requires no equipment or expense and is one of the best ways for you to become more active.
Regular walking can improve confidence, stamina and energy, and help control your weight. It can also keep your heart strong and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure, bowel cancer and osteoporosis.
We have short walks available from the Walking the way to health scheme, and also longer countryside walks.
Also find out about our public rights of way.
