Residents of Ascot recently dusted off their hiking boots, rain jackets, and walking sticks to head out into the great outdoors. 

Winkfield Parish Council posted numerous pictures to social media congratulating those who decided to join them for an enjoyable Community Footpath Walk.

According to the reputable charity Mind, Spending time in green space or bringing nature into your everyday life can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing.

For example, doing things like growing food or flowers, exercising outdoors or being around animals.

Winkfield Parish Council posted the following statement along with multiple photographs of the beautiful scenery that the walkers encountered on their travels:

"We started from Asher Recreation Ground in Cranbourne.

"We enjoyed seeing some local wildlife and wildflowers along the way and passed by the community orchard at Asher.

"Keep a look out on our website for details later in the year of an Autumn Walk."
