We will be able to explore the area and perhaps learn a little about it. The walk will be taken at a pace appropriate to the group and would be suitable for those recovering from illness, those with mental health issues and those hoping to build up slowly to doing longer walks.Walking is an excellent way of forgetting your troubles and meeting new people.
