Fishing

One of the world’s oldest hobbies, fishing (or angling) is still enjoyed by millions of people because it is a great way of escaping to nature, relaxing and enjoying the scenery. It’s not really about catching fish.

Pros:

  • Outdoors: fresh air and vitamin D
  • Encourages an appreciation of nature
  • Relaxation & escapism
  • Relieves stress
  • Prescribed by many NHS trusts for mental wellbeing
  • Family bonding, and often new friendships
  • Teaches determination and perseverance
  • Lots of places to fish

Cons:

  • Requires patience and determination
  • You’ll need to purchase some equipment
  • You might not catch anything!
