Unlocking the science behind the incredible impact of walking on our health, mind and mood in 20 different landscapes.

'The perfect tonic' – Yorkshire Times
'Energising' – Guardian

The right place, walked at the right time, can heal, energise, restore and inspire.

From exploring woodland trails in the summer to autumnal strolls along the coast, Annabel Streets' new book brilliantly explores the curative effects of different landscapes. Blending personal stories with compelling scientific insight, Streets shows how different environments affect our bodies, minds and moods and how walking through them can bring profound change.

Inside, discover how:
- A scenic canal path can spark creativity
- A bustling urban route can lift boredom and boost mood
- A simple amble by the sea can soothe grief and anxiety

Whatever the season or state of mind, The Walking Cure is your go-to guide for walking to feel better and a joyful celebration of movement, nature and the extraordinary power of putting one foot in front of the other.
