We are encouraging more people to get out and walk - not only is regular walking good for your physical health, it also gives you a feeling of well being.
Walking is something that you can either do on your own, with children, older family members or in a group. It can cost very little and can fit in with any lifestyle. So whether you want to walk because you simply enjoy being outside or would like to improve your general health, or just simply want to explore our beautiful Island and meet like minded people, walking can help you. So why not give it a go? You will really enjoy it!
Below are 70 recommended walks which we published in the County Press. All have a map and clear instructions. The walks are free to download and we hope you enjoy your adventures.
