It is nice to get out and about in the fresh air. This is not just something that is good for our physical bodies, which has long been talked about, but it is also really good for our mental health. Spending time walking in nature is also something that is free and available to everyone. As we start to see the leaves change colour however, people may be less inclined to get outdoors, which is a shame, since as well as the health benefits, there are lots of amazing things to see in the natural world at this time of the year.
All you need to be able to enjoy being out in the countryside in the winter is the right clothing and footwear. Here are some of the things that can help you to enjoy the winter days, whatever the weather…
Good Quality Wellies – Wellington boots are an essential if you want to walk in the British countryside, especially in the winter months. Make sure that the wellies are a good fit, some people like to buy wellies that are a size larger so that they can wear thicker socks in the winter months, so try a few pairs on before you buy.
Warm Clothing – Keeping warm is essential, so choose fleece material as well as woollen clothing like this Irish fisherman sweater https://www.shamrockgift.com/aran-sweaters/mens-aran-sweaters/
A Waterproof Coat – Of course we often have a lot of rain in the winter and after the hot summer it is more than welcome. To stay comfortable and dry whilst you are out, look for a light waterproof mac, or waxed jacket.
