TV presenter Julia Bradbury recently joined residents on a walk through the Warwickshire countryside.

Residents and staff from Inspired Villages Group's (IVG) later living communities were joined by walking enthusiast Julia on a walk exploring the area around Great Alne Park in Warwickshire.

The three-mile walk included a visit to Purity Brewing Company for a tasting of award-winning beers and ended with a pub lunch at The Turks Head.

A spokesman from IVG said the event was part of a drive to help combat loneliness.

The event is also supporting the launch of a 'Walking Guide' initiative designed to help residents stay physically, mentally and socially active throughout their later life.

Julia said: “This was a fabulous day to be involved in and I am proud to be part of such an important initiative. Walking is a great way for people to ease into exercise, explore their local area and get to know new people."
