It’s worth carrying a few plasters in case of blisters, or the odd scratch or two, and whether or not you plan to buy refreshment should a pub or café be on the route, I’d advise taking a flask of drink and a few nibbles in case your energy wanes.

An Ordnance Survey map will be needed in the unlikely event of your becoming lost, and it will also give a broader picture of the countryside you’re walking through than will be gained from the OS extracts provided within these pages. Details of specific 1:25,000 sheets which show more detail are given at the head of each walk description. A note of refreshment facilities to be found en route is also given. Most of these will be at country pubs, although I’m at pains to stress that I have no personal experience of any of those mentioned, so no endorsement of services provided is intended. (Truth is, I’d rather lounge beneath a tree with a view and chew on an apple, than sit in a pub with a pint and a snack.) But should you plan to call at a wayside pub or café, please be considerate if your footwear is wet or muddy, and either remove your boots or cover them with plastic bags.
