National Walking Month officially ended yesterday (June 1).
May was National Walking Month and Worcester County Council issued stories throughout to promote its benefits.
Emma Stokes, Worcestershire County Council cabinet member with responsibility for the environment said: "I absolutely support walking and I do a lot of it myself.
"The health and wellbeing benefits are amazing.
"I walk my dog daily and it's good for purpose, stride and fulfilment.
"We live in a beautiful area, sometimes it's raining, sometimes it's lovely, you just enjoy what's in front of you."
