There’s a struggle to balance both staying healthy and having fun.
Fast food, chocolate, beer, we’re constantly being told about the health risks and the importance of a balanced diet and staying active.
So, here at The Star we thought about how you could do both.
Here’s a list of some of the best scenic walks across the region, that will help you get your steps in, but still lead you to a good boozer at the end.
And with the August bank holiday weekend, hopefully there’s plenty of opportunity to enjoy some nature and couple of pints.
1. Calver river walk
This is a lovely level, short walk - distance 2.5 miles - along the River Derwent between Calver and Froggatt. Keep an eye out for birdlife such as dippers and grey wagtails on the river and admire the lovely 17th-century bridge at Froggatt. Your starting point, the Bridge Inn boasts a pretty riverside garden. Guide at http://www.derbyshire-peakdistrict.co.uk/calverwalk.htm Photo: bridge
