HEALTH & WELLBEING
SLOW DOWN
Feed your mind, body and soul
There is growing evidence that a connection with nature makes us healthier and happier. Getting out in nature is also good fun! Walking, cycling or even swimming outdoors; just being somewhere special makes us feel more connected and can improve our health and wellbeing.
Maybe you prefer a more meditative approach - sat on top of a tor admiring the views, bird watching or stargazing. We can all benefit by appreciating the wild beauty of what’s around us.
The articles on this site are full of walks and things to see and do in the area, or ask at the Ashburton Information Centre!
