This site is run by a group of keen walkers who are concerned about the environmental impacts of driving cars to walks, and the lack of information about alternatives to car transport.

Car-free walking has many advantages:

• using public transport reduces carbon dioxide emissions, a major contributor to global warming
• not driving a car reduces parking congestion and damage to roadside verges at the start of popular walks, and prevents overcrowding on narrow country lanes
• using public transport helps to create demand for and support local bus services and branch lines, which are often vital in rural areas
• starting walks away from car parks may help walkers to discover less well-known trails and footpaths
