This leaflet details a guided walk around the picturesque village of Holyport within the parish of Bray. The route is 1.7 miles in total and is likely to take half an hour to complete at a brisk walking pace. The walk is flat with no stiles or gates, although there is a bridge between footpath 30, an bridleway 29, and a narrow gap at the Moneyrow Green end of footpath 30.

The British Heart Foundation recommends 30 minutes of brisk walking five times per week. Walking can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, strokes, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, bowel cancer and Alzeimer's disease, and can help with high blood pressure, anxiety and stress. Walking can also increase life expectancy, confidence and stamina, and can also help with weight loss. It is simple and free, and you don't need any specialist equipment other than suitable footwear.
