Why not take advantage of the upcoming four-day weekend by putting on your walking footwear and enjoying a stroll somewhere?

According to the UK's walking charity the Ramblers, this Easter is the perfect time to head to the great outdoors.

It says the Easter break, which runs from April 22nd to 25th, allows walkers the chance to enjoy hundreds of trails all over the country, ranging in style and diversity.

And of course, if you over indulge on the Easter eggs this year, you've an even better reason to get out there.

What's more, it's a perfect opportunity for family time.

The Ramblers says research shows that first-time walkers talk to one another more and spend more quality time together during a walk.

"Easter's the perfect time to get out in the spring sunshine and go for a walk with the family," Tom Franklin, Ramblers chief executive, said.

"Fun, low-cost and packed full of adventure, walking is a great way to get talking to the family and helps you all get that bit fitter too."
