Walking has endless amounts of benefits for your health, increasing heart and lung fitness, as well as reducing risks of serious conditions such as strokes, heart disease and many more. Walking down the road to the shop rather than taking the car is a good start but if you are looking for a more scenic walk that isn’t too challenging then why not give one of these 3 beautiful walks ago.
