For over 90 years Living Streets has been a beacon for walking.
In the early days our campaigning led to the UK’s first zebra crossing and the introduction of speed limits. To create streets that are fitter for walking we need change at a local and national level. From supporting nationwide campaigns, to creating change in your own neighbourhood, there are a number of ways you can get involved.
May is National Walking Month
Walking is one of the easiest ways to improve our health and stay connected to our community, helping us feel less lonely and isolated.
Bristol Walk Fest ties in with National Walking Month and together we encourage you to celebrate the many health and happiness benefits of walking and wheeling.

Walk to School weeks sits within National Walking Month and encourages schools to join in with the five day walking challenge. This year, the event will take place between 19th and 23rd May 2025.
