Walking

Walking in nature is one of life’s simple pleasures. It is easy to get caught up in our lives and forget the beauty and tranquillity that surrounds us in the New Forest and the surrounding area. There are lots of reasons why walking in nature is good for you. Walking is a low-impact form of exercise that is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. Walking on uneven terrain or up a small hill can also help to improve balance and build muscle strength.

The benefits of walking in nature extend beyond physical health. Spending time in nature can help to reduce stress and anxiety. The sound of birdsong, the rustle of leaves, and the smell of fresh air can help to calm our minds and soothe our senses. What’s unique about walking in nature is the combination of physical activity and the sensory experience of being in nature. We can feel the breeze on our skin, smell the scent of wildflowers, and hear the chirping of birds. Walking with others and sharing nature together is another great way to pass the time and get away from every day worries.
