How something as simple as a walk can improve our wellbeing, sharpen our thinking and bring communities closer together. We try out an innovative walking map of the UK on a journey through London, then head to the United States and Hungary, where doctors are leading walks to build stronger relationships with their patients. People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems. We'd love you to let us know what you think and to hear about your own solutions. You can contact us on WhatsApp by messaging +44 8000 321721 or email peoplefixingtheworld@bbc.co.uk. We release a new edition every Wednesday - just search for The Documentary wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Hi there, my name is Myra Anubi and today I'm out for a walk at some woods right outside my doorstep.

  • Now it's mid-morning on a typical autumn day, so a little windy and wet,

  • but warm enough for me to be out here without a coat.

  • And despite the odd muddy patch of ground, it is actually a pleasant walk.

  • I mean the air is so clear here and if you listen closely, you'll hear...

  • Birds and distant noises and catch the trees as they move about in the wind.

  • Now walking is a normal part of life and it's easy to overlook just how good it can be for us.

  • I find it gives me a chance

  • to step away from the normal rush of day-to-day life and slow down for a bit.

  • I'll sometimes go for a walk in here when I need to clear my mind

  • or when I feel like I haven't done enough steps or exercise during the week.
