Route description

This is another of our series of Shorter and Steadier walks to introduce new walkers to the splendour of our glorious countryside and the sheer joy of walking in the countryside.

These shorter walks will be at a gentler pace for those who fear that most Wardens’ Guided Walks may be a bit challenging. They will also be ideal for anyone wanting to regain fitness after a health setback.

This one is a little bit longer than usual – but don’t give up – we will take it gently, we will NOT leave you behind and we are sure you will be able to manage it.
