We intuitively know that we feel better in ‘blue spaces’, and the science behind the mental and physical benefits of being close to water is becoming clear. A new term, ‘blue health’, has been coined and Wallace J Nicholls, a Californian surfer and marine biologist, sums it up perfectly when he suggests that being on, under, or beside water results in a “mildly meditative state characterized by calm, peacefulness, unity, and a sense of general happiness and satisfaction with life in the moment”. It’s little wonder, then, that paddleboarding has become so popular and why more of us are discovering this activity every day.

was probably used for more than one burial. Such cairns are a feature of the uplands of the North York Moors and are the stone equivalent of the earthen burial mounds of the lowlands.

For millennia, people have hunted, settled and farmed here, leaving behind mysterious, sacred and beautiful reminders of their presence that you can see and touch today. The Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries had a huge impact on this region. Deposits of lead ore and other minerals generated a prolific lead mining industry in Weardale, while at Rosedale in the North York Moors mines sprang up around a massive iron ore industry, including a railway around the valley. This industrial exploitation has sculpted today’s landscape, but wilderness has thankfully returned to these peaceful, rural dales; the ironstone railway is now a spectacular walking and cycling route, and the relics in the landscape are a chapter in the North East’s rich history.

It's otter carnage! Astonishing moment two rival otter families charge towards each other and battle in territorial clash The world's most stunning remote locations revealed in lavish photo book - from spellbinding Cornish beaches to a crooked forest in Denmark and jaw-dropping mountains in the U.S Although every journey can be an adventure, the joy of paddling for many people is simply being on the water and engaging every one of our senses. Watch ring-like patterns form as heavy raindrops hit the water or the light dancing across a river’s surface; breathe in the ozone of the ocean, the sweet smell of river water, and enjoy the fresh taste of spring-fed lakes. The sound of a paddle dipping beneath the water’s surface, the emptying of tidal creeks heralded by the cries of wading birds looking for their next meal, the gentle song of rivers flowing on their eternal journey to the ocean. All these sensory experiences increase our ‘blue health’, and all are beloved by paddlers. Nestled on the North Pennines in Cumbria, Alston Youth Hostel is the best accommodation in Alston!

But as long as we stay connected with all of the many, many blessings that water provides, and continue to keep that love in the forefront of our minds and hearts, as long as we remind ourselves to hope, then our stories will help connect others to water and encourage them to do what they can to help care for this beautiful Blue Marble world.”

The best cities in the world for culture in 2023 named by Time Out - with Edinburgh beating New York and Melbourne trumping Paris. But none of them make the top five... We also seem to be at a tipping point in terms of the health of our blue spaces. Inland water quality is deteriorating rapidly under the onslaught of sewage, agricultural run-off, and plastic – so much so that not a single river in England has received a clean bill of health. Oceans are suffering the same fate but at least are firmly in the sights of many groups campaigning for clean seas. We now know just how many polluting incidents have occurred in English waters and, frankly, these should be unlawful. Access to high-quality blue spaces for the many, not just the few, is important and there is hope. The ever-growing community of paddlers, swimmers, and water lovers are also joining the call to action for better protection of our waterways and ensuring access for all.
