All are welcome, no membership required, come regularly or just occasionally on these free guided walks. You are advised to wear appropriate clothing and hiking boots. We will walk even if it is raining but not in extreme conditions! On the long walks except the Pilgrims’ Way walk, there is the option of having a café/pub lunch. There are plenty of stiles and several steep inclines. Sorry no dogs. (NB. Mileage and finishing times are approximate.)
