About Owens Walks

Owens Walks is a personal project. I created it as a free resource with a hope it will benefit others.

Engaging our landscape can be a wonderful personal experience, not only for its intrinsic value but for personal benefits from exercise. Exercise is a healthy option, in moderation it offers both physical and mental benefits. As someone who has suffered anxiety and stress, walking through a beautiful landscape can be uplifting. I'm no expert but it has done me good.

Owens Walks has helped me seek out places of interest and places of wild as well as researching our history to better understand how we live within our natural environment.

During my travels, I have found evidence of hunter-gatherers dating back a few thousand years. More obvious were our visitors from the Roman Empire as well as Religious Leaders, all left their marks upon the landscape. But what I find most compelling as I wander across the landscape is the role Lancastrians and Cumbrians played in building the economy of Britain into one of the wealthiest countries on the planet.

For the North-West today, the intense production of stuff is all but over, yet this corner of England remains proud, our local history reminds us of a different time that is worth reflecting upon. My journeys helped me pay tribute to those men and women who trod this land and made our history - and our present.
