Where to walk
There’s no right or wrong place to start moving; everyone is different, everyone has their own starting point or motivations and everyone will go at their own pace.
If you’d like to set your own pace you may prefer to walk alone, or with family and friends, rather than joining a walking group. There are so many walking routes throughout Nottingham and Nottinghamshire which you can find details of right here
Find out more about a walk near you here or if you know a great route you don’t see on here, please share it with us, so we can share it with others and grow this resource.
