Planning a journey on foot
If you’re planning a walk to somewhere new, Google Maps can help you find a suitable route and estimate how long your journey might take.
Simply enter your destination, select the walking option and follow the directions. You can also compare different routes before setting off.
For ideas for longer walks and opportunities to explore the countryside, visit the Ramblers website, where you can find walking routes, local groups and events.
Why walk?
Walking is a simple, free way to get around. It can help you stay active, improve your wellbeing and save money, while reducing traffic and pollution when you choose to walk instead of drive.
Even replacing a few short car journeys each week can make a difference.
