Walking routes to enjoy without breaking lockdown rules in and around Watford Daily exercise is more important than ever as we all learn to cope with life in lockdown number three. Whether it's a new priority to get out and move your body, be it because of working from home and being sat down all day or escaping the house for a moment alone, away from home schooling - exercise has become our solace.

The emotional benefits of getting outside in the fresh air and enjoying some gentle exercise can make a huge difference to our mental health, especially for people who suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD) in the winter months.
