Being in nature and connecting with it we can feel good in ourselves both body and mind. Across Wales, we have beautiful hills, mountains, and coastlines.
You don’t have to travel far to be in nature. It can be as easy as connecting with nature on your doorstep like taking a walk in your local park, spending time in your garden or watering plants at your window.
The information below has various links to give you an idea of different places in nature in different local authorities for you to explore.
When we immerse ourselves in nature, our senses come alive. When we let our senses guide in nature, like the sounds of crashing waves, the smells of flowers and gardens, or the sight of wildlife, we feel a boost in mental wellbeing.
Go onto the links and give yourself a deserved boost in wellbeing.
