Our proposal for East Lothian is to map a series of six walking trails across the region and we are inviting community walking groups and individuals to get involved in this process, by suggesting recommended routes that could be included.

The trails will encourage communities to come together and connect socially with the healing qualities of nature, reflecting the daily walking practice that many people adopted during lockdown when we were encouraged to walk once a day for up to one hour within a 5 mile radius from home. They will ideally start and finish on local transport routes, offering an inclusive community resource that is easily accessible, that can be integrated into various facets of everyday life.
