      USING THIS GUIDE

      Routes in this book

      In this book you will find a selection of easy or moderate walks suitable for almost everyone, including casual walkers and families with children, or for when you only have a short time to fill. The routes have been carefully chosen to allow you to explore the area and its attractions. Although there may be some climbs there is no challenging terrain, but do bear in mind that conditions can sometimes be wet or muddy underfoot. A route summary table is included to help you choose the right walk.

      Clothing and footwear

      You won’t need any special equipment to enjoy these walks. The weather in Britain can be changeable, so choose clothing suitable for the season and wear or carry a waterproof jacket. For footwear, comfortable walking boots or trainers with a good grip are best. A small rucksack for drinks, snacks and spare clothing is useful. See www.adventuresmart.uk.

      Walk descriptions

      At the beginning of each walk you’ll find all the information you need:

      start/finish location, with postcode and a what3words address to help you find it

      parking and transport information, estimated walking time, total distance and climb

      details of public toilets available along the route and where you can get refreshments

      a summary of the key highlights of the walk and what you might see

      Timings given are the time to complete the walk at a reasonable walking pace. Allow extra time for extended stops or if walking with children.

      The route is described in clear, easy-to-follow directions, with each waypoint marked on an accompanying map extract. It’s a good idea to read the whole of the route instructions before setting out, so that you know what to expect.

      Maps, GPX files and what3words

      Extracts from the OS 1:25,000 map accompany each route. GPX files for all the walks in this book are available to download at www.cicerone.co.uk/1139/gpx.
