Six perfect winter walks for those who love to stay active



Winter can be an exciting time of year, and it’s the perfect time to hit the roads and trails with your family, walking shoes, and a thermos of hot chocolate or tea to stay warm. As you plan your winter walks with your family, here are six great walking destinations across the country. All are great choices for those who love to stay active, even during the coldest months of the year!


A walk in the woods

It’s easy to think that staying fit requires an expensive gym membership or a ton of equipment. That couldn’t be further from the truth. One of my favourite ways to stay fit in cold weather is with a hike through snowy woods. There’s something so invigorating about being surrounded by trees and snow while feeling your heart race at a fast pace.


A walk in the hills

Whether it’s a stroll through a local park or an invigorating hike up an incline, going on a walk is one of our favourite pastimes in Winter. It’s free and it doesn’t require much more than sturdy shoes and a warm coat. If you live in a hilly area, where there are some fun hiking trails, getting up and moving around can be really refreshing. Bring along your camera so you can snap some photos along your way! At least you’ll have pictures of something beautiful besides falling snowflakes.


A walk on the beach

Going on a long walk on a sandy beach is one of life’s simple pleasures. And it’s not just enjoyable, it’s a great way to get in some exercise! And you can make your walks even more fun by picking out an interesting spot along your route—whether that means heading toward an historic monument or down to a rock where you can watch for ocean life (like dolphins). Pack your camera and take photos of wildlife, too. Bonus: The sound of waves crashing is super relaxing.


A walk through the fields

What a beautiful time of year. As far as you can see is fields, dotted with groups of trees and cows peacefully grazing. There’s really nothing like walking through these meadows in the winter and experiencing true peace. 


A walk through Caernarfon town

Caernarfon is a fantastic town in Gwynedd, North Wales. The historic town is home to an array of Welsh sites and has become well known as one of Wales’s premier tourist destinations. You can stay at holiday parks North Wales nearby, too! There are plenty of walking options around Caernarfon so grab a friend or family member and head out! Caernarfon Castle is not only is it one of Wales’s most popular castles but also serves as a museum and is a fabulous place to explore.
