Baby-friendly Walks Directory

Do you want to explore new places but you’re not sure where to go or whether a walk will be baby-friendly?

Blaze Trails have teamed up with the fabulous map app Komoot to help parents get outdoors by building up a directory of walks across the UK.

the lowdown:

  • All of the walks in our directory are created, tested and recommended by real parents like you!

  • Individual walks specify if they are suitable for baby-carrying, pushchairs and/or toddlers.

  • All walks include a map, a description with key family-related information (e.g. baby changing facilities), and most include photos so you can see what to expect.

  • The directory will be organised in collections by place and theme - e.g. top 10 coastal walks with a baby, or top 5 forest walks in the North East.

Safety

Remember that while map apps are amazing, they’re not a replacement for being able to read a map and understand how to navigate a new area safely.
