RE-BOOT FOR SPRING: MIND, BODY & 'SOLES'

AS PART OF APRIL'S NATIONAL MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

CARE OF HF HOLIDAYS AND ITS HOST OF WALKING, OUTDOOR & SPECIALIST BREAKS

+ PUT AN EXTRA SPRING IN YOUR STEP WITH A DISCOUNT OFF LOWA WALKING BOOTS WHEN BOOKING

Not only does the 1st of April mark the start of National Mental Health Awareness month, but we have also officially entered Spring, so what better way to re-boot – mentally as well as physically – than booking a break with HF Holidays, one of the UK's leading and most renowned and trusted providers of outdoor, walking and specialist holidays.

There are a host of different holiday options to choose from to help get your Spring season off to a kicking start, whether it be a UK walking break with full board in one of HF Holidays 17 country houses, learning a new skill such as bridge, landscape painting or dancing, or a holiday in Europe or even something further afield.  In addition we have also arranged to put a literal spring in your step with an extra special discount code for Lowa boots, said by many to be the world's leading walking boots, for anyone booking a holiday with HF Holidays between the 1st of April and the 31st of May.

We all know the fitness benefits of walking, with many of us enjoying finding that out for ourselves during the last few lockdown years, but there are also a host of others you might not be aware of: 

        Increases endorphins which help fight depression        *             Better Sleep         *     Boost Neural Plasticity

     Can boost problem solving & creativity by 60%                     *            Release of lubrication in joints                  

Relieves tension in the eyes as a result of switching between looking short distance, then long distance

Immunity booster due to increased exposure to Vitamin D outside       *          Expanded lung capacity

                  Anti-ageing by helping prevent muscle wastage                   *            Increased metabolism

Being away for even just a few nights can be a great way to unwind and feel invigorated by a change of scenery. We have a range of breaks running in April, May and beyond, so if you are in need of some time away, you could be enjoying the comforts of one of our UK country houses, or something further afield very soon! You can relax in the knowledge that all meals on our UK breaks are included and focus on enjoying your leisure time out walking, sightseeing or maybe a bit of both.
