Getting around

How ever you choose to get around, you're never far away from a new experience!
On foot
You see so much more when you slow down and explore on foot. There are miles and miles of quiet lanes, by-ways and footpaths. They take you through an interconnecting patchwork of fields, woods, moors, wetlands and nature reserves between the towns, villages and attractions.
Walking is great way to explore the area, discover new places and connect with others. The added advantage of travelling by foot is that walking has so many health benefits for your mind and body.
There’s an abundance of walking routes to choose from, suitable for all ages and abilities.
