Walking is wonderful exercise and helps children become aware of the world around them. Yet it can be hard work encouraging them to walk more than a short distance. With a little bit of preparation, this can be overcome. If kids are kept occupied and interested, they will walk much further than they think they can. There are many places throughout the country which have stories, legends, history attached to them. Not many people know them - but it can make a walk much more interesting to a child. It helps bring their surroundings alive, as it appeals to their imagination. By telling the stories as you walk, and having related games and activities to play along the way, it can help overcome the problem of trying to get kids to walk just that bit further. Throughout this book focusing on the Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, there are suggestions of areas that are good for walking, activities for along the way, and all have stories attached.
