The walking cure : the life-changing science of how landscape improves our health, mind and mood
Streets, Annabel2026
Books
The right place, walked at the right time, can heal, energise, restore and inspire. Instead of ambling the same old track, find a route to match and mend your mood - and prepare to be astonished. In this inspirational travelogue-come-guide, Annabel Streets explores 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. She investigates how walking not only has physiological benefits, but also, how different landscapes have proven abilities to change how we see, feel and experience ourselves and the world. With warmth, wisdom and a compelling blend of anecdotal and scientific evidence, Streets identifies 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 coastline to heal grief and worry.
