Introduction
The Printable Walk Guides point out items of historical interest and other curiosities. They should also inspire the I-Spy instincts of any children in your; party picnic places and play areas are also highlighted. Eventually all the Walks will have guides. The walks are not signposted or official, a map is always advisable (print the MultiMap) Please be careful of the traffic and water especially if you bring children. Town Walks merely require sensible shoes, The longer walks will require proper walking boots. Cyclists we are on National Route Five (see links)
