On this map you will see landmark icons which, once clicked, will reveal spectacular videos of some of the most magical locations along your Wild Atlantic Way Route.

Recent research strongly suggests that doing more steps per day significantly decreases a person’s risk of dying prematurely. One study reported that increasing our daily step counts by approximately 2,000 steps significantly reduces blood pressure. It has also been found that a greater number of steps per day is associated with reduced body weight and improved blood sugar control.

Our mental health also benefits from taking more steps per day. A large international workplace intervention called “Happy Feet” asked employees to walk 10,000 steps per day for 100 days. Positive changes to well-being and reductions in stress, anxiety and depression were described. Interestingly, these changes to mental health occurred regardless of whether or not the employees reached the 10,000 step target. So the take home message is to move more and you will feel better!
