It was fantastic to see that Tandle Hill was one of the shortlisted hotspots for the best autumn walks in Greater Manchester. Although we’ve made it to many of the places on the list, Tandle Hill is one of our family’s favourite places to head out on a crisp Sunday afternoon. If you haven’t been, make sure you do. The forests trails are beautiful, and perfect at this time of year for wearing your wellies or walking boots and kicking up the leaves.

Many of us these days have little time for exercise because of busy working and family lives, but the benefits of walking are becoming increasingly well-known. It’s even being recommended now by GPs to aid patients with mental health issues.
Half an hour of daily walking has been shown to:
- Reduce risk of heart attack and other chronic disease.
- Increase serotonin (your feel-good neurotransmitter)
- Spark creativity
- Help reduce weight
- Improve digestion
- Strengthen bones
- Improve mobility
- Boost immunity
- Improve sleep
- Increase stamina
So, to improve your overall health and wellbeing, add in a half hour walk every day, whether it be in the countryside, a forest, or even if it’s simply between your train station and work.
There’s no doubt about it, it WILL do you the world of GOOD!
