It's that time of year when we celebrate the health and happiness benefits of walking.

Walking is one of the easiest ways to improve our health and stay connected to our community, helping us feel less lonely and isolated.

And by swapping a short drive for a short walk, you can also help reduce air pollution, congestion and road danger – and save yourself some money in the process!

There are lots of reasons to walk ....
