Walking

Walking is a great way to be active - easy, relaxing and low cost.

Walking is an enjoyable and cost effective form of transport that benefits our community, environment, health and enables us to save money due to rising fuel costs.

We want to encourage walking to our local destinations and combine walks with public transport. This web site is a one stop shop on the research, policies, strategies and seminars on walking as well as places to walk to and walking group information.
