Dewsbury West Walking Guide
Whether you’re walking for fitness, to spend time outdoors or just going to the shops, it’s a great way to improve your wellbeing. If you walk regularly, you may notice improvements in your mood and sleep patterns; reduced stress, fatigue and anxiety; improved self-esteem and even clearer thinking. Your physical health might improve too with lower blood pressure, better heart health and less chance of conditions like diabetes.
To get started, take it slowly and begin with something small like a stroll round the block or a lap of your local park or walking track. When you feel ready, you could try one of these gentle walking routes, with handy guides to the routes, terrain and detailed instructions for these walks in the videos below.
