WALKING

Walking is one of the cheapest, easiest, and simplest forms of transport, which is boosted by there being a range of shops and services accessible within a short walk from Priory Grove. 

​

It also offers the greatest potential to replace short car and public transport trips, particularly those under a 2-kilometre distance. It provides a healthy alternative to the private car and typically forms a component of many journeys made by public transport or by car.

​
