Dorset's Purbeck cliffs, the Giant's Causeway and a Norfolk nature reserve feature in definitive list... as study finds seaside stroll really does help you sleep
I quite liking in fact. You can't beat a good walk. When I get older I will probably do even more of it.
A walk along the coast won’t just provide stunning views. It could also make you happier and help you sleep better. A study found that Britons slept more than half an hour longer after going for an amble along the beach than they did after a ramble inland. The sea air also helped them sleep more soundly, meaning they were more alert when they woke up. If that wasn’t enough to persuade you to head for the seaside, coastal walks also seem to make us feel happy and healthy. It is thought that exercising by the sea is particularly restorative because it conjures up happy memories of family holidays and the carefree days of childhood. The sound of the sea may be especially calming and the broader landscapes may also allow the mind to wander more. The findings come from two pieces of research commissioned by the National Trust.
