Walking to de-stress from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Walking in #Herefordshire and beyond.

Completed 20-mile 3 Castles Walk yesterday in perfect conditions. Great pint in @angelinngrosmont pub on the way. Well signposted, easy navigation. A very manageable long distance walk. Great views and great castles! #skenfrith #whitecastle #circularwalks #visitwales #castles

Brilliant 6-mile circular #walk from the stunning village of #Weobley. Route took in farms, hills, woodlands and one of the best buildings in #Herefordshire - #TheLey (pictured). Wonderful timber-frame buildings, and a good coffee in the #SalutationInn with a roaring fire.

Wet underfoot today on a grey day, but with the right boots and clothes no problem at all. Walked 5-mile route taking in Iron Age hill fort #SuttonWalls an important archeological site. Great church at #Marden too. https://t.co/v2SAJMzXfL #Herefordshire #walk

Circular #walk from #Monmouth and into the King��s Wood and back. Some great far-reaching views but very muddy - maybe save this one till a dry spell in early summer! Still, great to get out the house for a 6-miler in winter. #visitmonmouthshire #wyevalley

Superb quiet 6km circular #walk “#EnglishBicknor and #Offa’s Dyke” from Ben Giles’s #WyeValley Walks book. Fields & farms, disused railway, #RiverWye, military #pillbox, abandoned factory, restored lime kilns - this perfect little pre-Sunday lunch walk has it all! #ForestOfDean

[TheAutisticWalker @AutisticWalker]

Walked #Lydbrook and #Swallowvalets #ForestOfDean route from Ben Giles’s #WyeValley walks book. Combination of disused railway & forest tracks. Lovely route even on a damp #autumn day. Would’ve been too easy to stay at home today, well worth effort of getting out. #circularwalks

After my friend and I completed the #MarcleRidge circular walk we stopped at Cafe Miro in #Hereford for a hot drink and #peanutbutter & chocolate biscuit slice. First time in the cafe, lovely warm place with friendly staff.

After a month of terrible weather & low energy I got out & did #MarcleRidge circular walk. Tranquil 4.5mile route with amazing panoramas of the #Malverns & #Herefordshire. Not a muddy route at all. Feel much better for being active. #walking #autumnwalks https://t.co/1RF1a7roqB

For me exercising in natural surroundings is the ultimate relaxant. Even at this time of year as it is darker and damper, I am so glad I made the effort to get out and walk - even if I did have reservations before!

"As well as improving physical and mental health, exercising in natural surroundings can help people feel more connected to nature, which has been found to encourage pro-environmental behaviour, in turn helping to benefit the planet." #MyForestMoment

Now the rain has finally stopped it is a beautiful day for a walk. Feels great to be out enjoying the best #autumn views on a clear and crisp day. #Herefordshire #GoodrichCastle #WyeValley #autumnleaves #Leafs #LeafPeeping

Out for a short walk yesterday afternoon near Goodrich - autumn colours behind Kerne Bridge looking spectacular! #MyLeafPeepDeanWye #LeafPeepersWelcome #LeafPeeping #Herefordshire #WyeValley #Autumn #KerneBridge #Walford #Bishopswood #Goodrich

The Countryman magazine’s recipe this month is Banbury apple pie. Just made it and everyone loved it. Great recipe from this great little countryside & conservation magazine. @Countrymaned @MrsSimkinsCooks #ApplePie #TheCountryman #AppleRecipes

John Kyrle Circular Walk today. Easy 3-mile route out of Ross-on-Wye. After weeks of rain it is quite muddy by river so boots/wellies recommended! Appropriately I stopped for a coffee at the cosy Man of Ross Inn afterwards. #HerefordshireWalks #RossOnWye https://t.co/xEX9iZc7Ze

Ties in with philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s quote that “all truly great thoughts are conceived by walking”!

[TheAutisticWalker @AutisticWalker]

Even though the temperatures are falling and daylight hours getting shorter, it’s still beneficial to get outside rather than hunker down indoors for Autumn and Winter. #autumnwalks #winterwalks

Great to see research from @rcpsych & @forestryengland urging more people to #WalkinWinter 🌲🚶🌳

Woke up over an hour before alarm today 😔 once awake mind on and that’s me up. Went for early morning 2-mile walk - I find that when I wake up early I am less tired later in the day if I get up and out in the fresh air. Dark on way out, light on return home. #earlymorningwalk

A good walk can do wonders for your mental wellbeing; if you know someone who is struggling, take them with you.

After walking the Mordiford Loop today I called at the Moon Inn for a half pint and top-notch roast pork sandwich. Cosy traditional pub with friendly staff in a pretty little village. A great place to refuel after completing the circular walk. https://t.co/fBgwUQ872t
