Councillor Mark Bools, Executive Member for Leisure, said: "I would encourage everyone who is able to take part in National Walking Month to get outside and visit the wide range of gorgeous nature walks locally. As part of our Active Together programme, we have a series of park walks in different locations suitable for the walker just starting out and those who are more experienced.  Take a pet, meet a friend, make new friends, just move a little more and enjoy the benefits that walking can give you."
