Community Miles
Sometimes a walk means a simple stroll and a nice view!
Our Community Miles routes have been designed with both communities and visitors in mind. They each take a couple of hours, introduce you to local businesses and transport routes, show you hidden gems and get you fitter (there’s a calorie count for every walk).
We have improved existing routes with new stiles, gates and bridges, and waymarked them to make it easier to follow the route. Each walk has a leaflet with a map and information about what you will see, as well as ideas for local transportation to and from the beginning/end.
