All the walks are graded.
• Harder walks are at least 6 miles in length, will cross rough ground, go over stiles and often include many inclines (some steep) so require walkers to have a good level of fitness.
• Moderate walks are shorter, may cross rough ground, will include some inclines and may go over stiles.
All the walks will be led by trained volunteer walk leaders.
Walkers will need to wear suitable boots and clothing and should bring food and drinks for the longer walks.
As many of the routes cross fields containing sheep or other grazing livestock, dogs are not permitted on the walks.
