Wonders all around

Screen Shot 2021-09-17 at 09.31.48.png

We’re often told that wonder is all around us. But what people who sit and wait to be impressed don’t understand is that you have to meet it half-way. Two tools more valuable than any other in doing that: walking and wondering. Boots and curiosity. Set those to work on the world and it opens like the many-splendoured bloom it really is. You’re doing that with your daily #walk1000miles walks – but the new edition of Country Walking magazine is here to really supercharge your sense of wonder in the world. It’s dedicated to nature – but more than that, it’s dedicated to spending more time alive to the incredible, the beautiful and the touching all around us. The world’s a wonderful place on foot – but did you realise HOW wonderful?

PS – The issue is in shops now!
