Step into Spring:Annabel Streets: The Walking Cure

What is it about walking that is so good for us? Join award-winning writer Annabel Streets in conversation with the UK’s “laureate of walking,” Duncan Minshull, as they consider what effect different landscapes and different walks can have on us.

In her new book, The Walking Cure, Annabel blends anecdotal and scientific evidence to explain the curative and therapeutic benefits of 20 easy-­to-­find landscapes, both rural and urban: from mountains to meadows, disused railway lines to rivers and coastal cliffs to city parks.

Annabel Streets reveals not only the huge physiological benefits of walking, but also how these are exponentially enhanced by the particular routes we choose to walk. Streets investigates how different landscapes have proven abilities to change how we see, feel and experience ourselves and the world.

Discover the perfect place to walk for over two dozen common states-of-mind, whether it be a canal path to spark creativity, a bustling city to allay boredom or the shoreline to heal grief and insomnia.
