Walk to work

Two women walking to work through a townWalking to work gives you some breathing space to start your working day feeling refreshed and invigorated. You always know how long your route will take you and it is often quicker than by car during the morning rush hour. It is also a good way to build some exercise into your routine, especially if you will be sitting behind a desk for most of the day.

We have produced guides for commuters in Hereford showing the best routes to take to get to key employment areas like Rotherwas, the city centre and the north of the city.
