The Walking Cure : A healthier, happier life – one step at a time by Annabel Streets

The right place, walked at the right time, can heal, energise, restore and inspire. Instead of ambling the same old track, find a route to match and mend your mood … and prepare to be astonished. In this inspirational guide, Annabel Streets explores the curative and therapeutic benefits of both rural and urban landscapes: from mountains to meadows, disused railway lines to rivers, and coastal cliffs to city parks.

She investigates how walking benefits us not only physically, but also how we see, feel and experience ourselves and the world. With warmth, wisdom and a compelling blend of anecdotal and scientific evidence, Streets identifies the perfect place to walk whatever your mood. Whether it be a canal path to spark creativity, a bustling city to allay boredom or the coastline to heal grief and worry.

The Walking Cure celebrates the joy of walking and shares the extraordinary health benefits that landscape unlocks.
