This book contains ten circular walks between the distances of 1.5 miles to 5.5 miles, each of the chapters as an easy to follow format, where to start and places or things to lookout for along the way. The chapters each covers something from history, a mystery or legend which in some cases can be extremely interesting. The terrain on the walks varies considerably from open fields, green lanes, woodland, country lanes or open moorland. So with this in mind be sure to dress sensibly with warm wet proof/cold resistant clothing, for example temperatures on the moors can be 5 degrees lower than the mainland. Most important make sure you wear good footwear, ideally walking boots to keep feet dry give good support for the feet and ankles on very uneven ground. Please whenever you are out and about make sure you follow the Countryside Code, gates are normally shut by the farmers to keep farm animals in, sometimes they may be left open so animals can reach food or water. So be sure to leave gates as you find them or follow instructions on any signs on the gate. On some of these walks with historical places be careful not to disturb ruins or historical sites because our heritage is for the future not just for the past.
