MAY is national walking month, organised by the British Heart Foundation, in a bid to get the nation on their feet and raise money for life saving research at the same time.
The campaign encourages people of all ages and backgrounds to get outside and embrace the simple yet health-filled benefits of walking.
Where can you go for a walk in St Helens?
Where are the best spots to take a hike?
Members of St Helens Star Camera Club shared pictures of their favourite walks, which include parks, woods and dams.
The Camera Club is a supportive and friendly group of amateur and professional photographers and as well as submitting photos taken recently, members also take part in regular themed challenges like clouds, symmetry and blossom.
