Thousands of families across Cumbria are leaving their cars at home for 'Walk to School Week'.

63 schools - more than 10,000 pupils - are taking part in this year’s national campaign.

They include seven schools in Furness, and thirteen in the South Lakes.

Councillor Clare Feeney-Johnson, Cumbria County Council Cabinet member for schools, said: “Walking to school brings many benefits – it’s good for your health and the environment, and it also means children arrive in the classroom feeling fresh, alert and ready to learn. Even by just walking part of the journey to school is a great way for children, and their families, to keep fit and enjoy the fresh air. It’s pleasing so many schools are again taking part this year, encouraging pupils to come to school either by walking, cycling or scooting.”
