Hello Bluesky! 💙 Our charity opens the way to walking by:

🥾 Breaking down barriers
🌳 Giving more people the chance to walk
🚶🏽‍♀️ Leading 40,000 group walks a year

Whether you’re a wild wanderer, solitary stroller, hardcore hiker or weekend walk-and-talker, follow us for all things #walking in Britain!
In many ways, it boils down to a simple question -

Should the England Coast Path follow the coast? 🤔
Call this a coast path? 🤔

Great to see the BBC cover the dangerous proposed route for the King Charles III #EnglandCoastPath

Rather than follow the historic beach at English Heritage's Osborne estate, the coast path will go miles inland along a busy A-road 🧵

Walking is incredible for our physical & mental health but our access to green spaces is far from equal

While we continue to call on the UK Govt for an #AccessToNature Bill it's vital Natural England takes action now to ensure the benefits of this new reserve are felt by those who need it the most.
This is fantastic news 😍 HOWEVER...👇🏾

The UK Govt plans MUST include a significant improvement in access to green space for the people of Bradford

...which is currently one of the most nature-deprived cities in England 🌳🚫 1/2
