Walks Summary 

IMPORTANT:


The weather in the hills can change rapidly, so please bring suitable clothing to protect yourself from the wet, cold and (hopefully!) sun. Sturdy footwear is essential and walking poles are recommended.
Always bring plenty to drink and sufficient food – the walks may take longer than you think. 
Please note:
  1. Regrettably, we cannot accept dogs on the walks because of livestock in the fields.
  2. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.​
