Walking & Cycling

It is recommended by medical professionals that adults get 150 minutes of exercise per week (30 minutes per day over five days). Taking local walks and cycling are excellent ways to achieve this, sometimes without even realising it!

There are many local facilities that can be reached by foot including the nursery, high school and college, all within a 15-minute walk. There is also an Aldi, Sainbury’s, Post Office and the Tollgate shopping centre within a 20-minute walk from Chitts Hill.

Did you know cycling is three times faster than walking?
