Living Streets Cymru

We are Living Streets Cymru, part of the UK charity for everyday walking.

We want to create a nation where walking and wheeling is the natural choice for everyday, local journeys.

Our work with schools, communities and partner organisations enables and encourages people to walk and wheel more.

We aim to promote our projects and services bilingually and produce several of our materials in Welsh and England, including our WOW Travel Tracker.
