Today is the start of the Festival of Winter Walks. OK, we know it’s tempting to stay indoors when the temperature plummets, but there are so many great reasons to get outdoors:
1. Seasonal treats are even better after a stomp outdoors
You know a mug of hot chocolate or mulled wine will taste oh so good when you come in from the cold.

2. It will give your mental health and wellbeing a boost
A walk in the fresh air can be the perfect answer to reducing stress levels at a busy time of year.

3. It’s an opportunity to start a new tradition with friends and family
Whatever you’re celebrating, adding a winter walk into the festivities makes the perfect annual tradition.

4. It will help keep you fit during the season of overindulgence
As long as you’re wrapped up warm, getting out in colder weather can help to amplify all the benefits of a good walk.

5. You can discover your local Christmas lights
From the subtle and magical to the weird and wonderful, get out on a walk to see what you can discover.

6. It’s a chance to meet new friends
If you want some company, we’re here for you! Why not join one of our short, free Ramblers Wellbeing Walk.

7. Frost and snow can turn the countryside into a winter wonderland
Don’t miss the opportunity to walk in nature at it’s frosty best.
