PEOPLE in the South West are being encouraged to get out and discover the wonders of rambling during Get Walking Week.

Ramblers and Macmillan Cancer Support are offering free short walks during Get Walking Week, from May 3 to 10.

Simon Barnett, director of walking development at the Ramblers, said: “We’ve seen firsthand what a positive impact regular walking can have on people’s lives so we are keen to open up opportunities to everyone so they can benefit too.”
