Walking is a great way to improve both physical and mental health, and there are lots of opportunities to enjoy walking in North Somerset. Walking is a simple, free way of being more active and is ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels. As well as the health benefits, walking can be a great way to explore your local area, finding out what’s on your doorstep – whether that’s local nature and environment or shops and businesses.
