BOXING Day is the perfect opportunity to get out and blow away the cobwebs.

After too much indulgence on Christmas Day, cabin fever can start to kick in and some fresh air is much needed.

If you’re itching to get out and burn off that Christmas dinner, chocolates and mince pies, here are a few ideas to inspire you to get out and about.

These are some of the National Trust’s best winter walks to help you feel refreshed and revived.

Old Harry Rocks

Stunning views of the Jurassic Coast and unique rock formations can be seen on this walk.

The fresh sea air can help blow away the cobwebs as you walk along the rugged coastal path.

This walk is also dog friendly, and takes you on a circular tour of pubs in the area.

The walk begins at South Beach car park and will take you along a path full of breathtaking views, from the Pinnacle Stack to Ballard Down and through Glebeland Estate.

Thorncombe Woods

English novelist and poet Thomas Hardy loved traversing through these woods throughout his life.

The routes created by the Dorset County Council can be walked on Boxing Day, with two different lengths of walks available.

The 'pink trail' is just 15 minutes long and leads walkers through the heart of the woodland and up to the gate of the orchard.

The 'blue trail' follows a more adventurous route, taking 35 minutes to complete.

The walk begins in the woodland and later passes Rushy Pond, a small watering hole that is home to a variety of different wildlife.

This trail also has stunning views of the surrounding heathlands which leads to the top of the orchard, where the descent begins to the gate of the gardens.

South Purbeck cliffs walk

This six-mile walk provides people with the opportunity to take in sea views and grassland rich in wildlife.

The walk begins by passing Spyway Barn and walking towards the South West Coast path.

You will then follow the stunning coastal path, heading inland to go round Seacombe Ledge.

The walk continues inland towards the Square and Compass pub where you will walk through many fields, defined by the prized Purbeck Stone.

The paths will eventually lead you back to the car park.

Eye Bridge, Kingston Lacy

Stroll upstream along a beautiful stretch of river. 

This two mile walk is also dog-friendly and begins at Eye Bridge car park.

It takes you along the northern bank of the Stour, over a small bridge and to a plantation of trees.

At this point you will have the option to meander down Weir Lane or take the higher level path at the end of the pasture.

The walk will follow the path behind the village of Cowgrove and the medieval Court House, heading back towards the River Stour and car park.

Spyway Sea Saunter

You can venture out to the coast and then loop back to your start point with this level walk across the farmland.

The walk starts from the kissing gate at the end of the car park, leading to crossing over at Priest's Way.

The track follows old cottages and farm buildings, eventually guiding you to a grassland where you may encounter a sika or roe deer.

Once through the kissing gate, there will be diverse, coastal landscapes for you to enjoy.

After admiring the views, follow the track at the top of the hill to the west and later follow the path which will lead you to the gates at the end of the field.
