A great way to get rid of the January blues is to get outside and go for a walk in some of the most stunning coastlines and countryside spots.
And while out on a stroll, why not pop into a coffee shop to grab a cuppa, a homemade cake or a spot of lunch?
Many of these cafes are ideal for a winter walk as they serve takeaway hot drinks (which work well as handwarmers).
To save you looking for walking spots and a nearby cafe, we have put together a list of a popular 12.
