In the area there is a long tradition of campaigning for footpaths, public access to mountain and moorland and on countryside issues.
It has a diverse and fascinating countryside offering many varied walking experiences, whether exploring the many sites of prehistoric interest or the extensive wildlife habitats.
Each Group has its walks programme, with walks ranging from easy to strenuous, and some groups have special walks for the visually impaired and others with special needs.
