Leisure & culture
We manage a wonderful variety of sites and facilities, ranging from local footpaths to national trails, from large country parks to small picnic sites, from amenity grasslands to flower-rich hay meadows, from reservoirs to ponds, to car parks, canals, wetlands, woodlands, visitor centres, greenways and even historic buildings and structures.
If you fancy a short to moderate walk in the countryside, or maybe a circular walk where you start and finish at the same place or if you want to explore somewhere new but are not sure where to go, then one of our self-guided walks could be just the thing.
Many have their own leaflet, which serves as both map and guide. The leaflets are all available from countryside centres and a selection is also available online to download from the way marked walks section of this site.
Our annual events programme contains a huge variety of activities for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're looking for a guided walk around the countryside, interested in learning a new skill or craft or want to keep the kids entertained, we've got something to interest everyone.
