Walks
The town is blessed with a great network of public footpaths, a number of which have been incorporated into self-guided walks. Walking organisations have also devised walks of varying lengths that help you explore the local countryside and its history.
Here is just a sample of what is on offer. You can also use the links at the foot of this page to take you to other websites where you will find even more walks.

For each walk we give the length, approximate time it takes and its grade. The grade tells you how hard the walk is likely to be:
Easy – Usually five miles or less, a few stiles and gentle inclines
Moderate – Usually more than five miles, some stiles, some steeper inclines and possibly slippery sections
Hard – Usually more than ten miles with several inclines and possibly slippery sections
