Nottinghamshire has plenty of long walks for people who would like to spend an hour or more out in the countryside. There are plenty of places to explore including huge forests, lakes, large country estates and nature reserves. There really is something for everyone here in Nottinghamshire. Walking is a low impact activity, and walking at your own pace will give your overall health and wellbeing a much-needed boost. You don’t need any special equipment and you can go by yourself or with friends if you prefer.
A long walk will increase cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, reduce body fat, and boost muscle power and endurance. It can also reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and some cancers. A long walk will help increase mental alertness and energy along with a more positive mood, making us less anxious and stressed. During a long walk, especially by yourself, allows the mind to wander and mull over aspects of your life, sort of like meditation on the move.
So, how about planning a long walk in Nottinghamshire once or twice a month as a retreat from your busy life, and I can guarantee you’ll return home tired and glowing.
