We seem to have avoided the worst excesses of winter, and warmer weather is upon us. Make the most of the sunshine by joining a local organised walk.
Walk information is correct at press time but always call beforehand to check times and book your place where necessary. Wear weather-appropriate clothing and footwear and carry water and, if required, a snack/lunch.
