The right place, walked at the right time, can heal, energise, restore and inspire.

From exploring woodland trails in the summer to autumnal strolls along the coast, Annabel Streets' new book brilliantly explores the curative effects of different landscapes. Blending personal stories with compelling scientific insight, Streets shows how different environments affect our bodies, minds and moods and how walking through them can bring profound change.

• A scenic canal path can spark creativity
