Walking is great for your health, particularly for your heart. It’s considered a ‘lifestyle exercise’, which means that you can easily weave it into your everyday routine: even a 10-minute, daily brisk walk to Brock’s on Rockwell Green Road can help improve your health, build stamina and burn excess calories.
Why not try walking into Wellington (around 20 minutes), getting off the bus one stop early, or even walking (potentially part way) to work?
For details of public rights of way (PRoW), Somerset Council’s Explore Somerset map shows where you can walk, ride or cycle.
Walkers can use all categories of PRoW. Horse riders and cyclists can use bridleways, restricted byways and byways open to all traffic.
Living Streets is a national charity that aims to create a better walking environment and inspire people to walk more. Check out their site to find details of campaigns and useful information on why walking is a winner!
