Bill's Walks 2026
All these walks are graded as harder/challenging. They are 6 or more miles in length and last 3+ hours so bring a drink and a packed lunch. The walks cross rough ground which is sometimes muddy so walking boots are needed. The walks will include inclines (some steep), often go over stiles and require a good level of fitness.
As many of the routes go over land containing grazing livestock, dogs are not allowed on the walks.
