Welcome! We hope you enjoy walking around our site and find lots of ideas, support and contacts to inspire you to choose to walk more often to more places.

Few of us will remember how much we wanted to walk before we could as toddlers, it might be easier to identify with the frustrations of those limited by their ability, age or health.  In any circumstance we don't think walking should be taken for granted so our site is all about encouraging those who can and want to walk, to get out there and enjoy it as often as possible - as a fantastic way to travel, be healthy or relax!

When you do decide to go for a walk, be reassured that thankfully there are lots of people who are working to help make sure your walk is as good as it can be.  Health, Transport, Education, Environment, Recreation/Sport and Urban Design professionals all have responsiblities to look after our needs as walkers.  Walk England wants more of these people to work together for your benefit and hopes that this site will be a good starting point to exchange points of view and ensure more or your needs are met.

We promise to keep the site as up to date as we can by working with professionals across England to find out what they are doing for walkers locally and encourage them to share what they do well with each other and to do more.  Please join our forums, come back often and go for lots of walks in between!
