While it doesn’t get as much hype as running or high-intensity workouts, walking is one of the best things we can do for our mental and physical health, which is why we’re bringing the Strong Women community together for two unmissable charity hikes this June. 

The many benefits of walking – which include improved heart health and a boosted metabolism – can be amplified when you combine the joys of hiking with spending time outdoors in nature. In fact, a 2018 study found that walking through forest areas led to a decrease in anxiety, so we’ve found two scenic walking routes, both within 30 minutes of London, that will take you through beautiful countryside.
