What to expect

Bloomsbury presents The Walking Cure, written and read by Annabel Streets

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 book Annabel Streets explains 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. Streets reveals not only the huge physiological benefits of walking, but also how these are exponentially enhanced by the particular routes we choose to walk. Streets investigates how different landscapes have proven abilities to change how we see, feel and experience ourselves and the world.

With warmth and wisdom, and using a compelling blend of anecdotal and scientific evidence, she 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 the shoreline to heal grief and insomnia. The Walking Cure celebrates the joy of walking and shares the extraordinary health benefits that landscape unlocks.
