Time to get walking again!
At this time of year, we start to think about the mud drying up and getting out to walk in the beautiful English Countryside again, but where to find new and interesting walks?
Walking in Nottinghamshire (www.walkinginengland.co.uk/notts) has hundreds of walks to download and print, free, it also has books of walks, details of all the walking groups in the county and much more. Whether you want to walk on your own or with a group, all the information is there in one place.
John Harris (the custodian of the website) said:
‘There is so much walking information on the web, but it is difficult to find. Walking in Nottinghamshire (part of the Walking in England website) has brought it together in one place so whether you are walking from home, or away on holiday, you will be able to find a walk suitable for you’.
With walks from half a mile to twelve miles plus long, and a note of suitability for pushchairs and wheelchairs, everyone can find a walk to enjoy.
So, home or away, check out the websites and get walking!

What are Rights of Way?
Rights of Way are public paths. They criss-cross the UK, from town centres to remote countryside, providing great opportunities for everyone to get out and enjoy a walk, cycle or horse ride.
There are four types of path, and you can use different paths for different activities. They are signposted from the roadside, with markers along the route. You should always keep to the marked route.
The different types of path and how to spot them
- Footpaths marked with Yellow: Walkers
- Bridleways marked with Blue: Walkers, Horse Riders, Cyclists
- Restricted Byways marked with Burgundy: Walkers, Horse Riders, Cyclists, Horse-drawn Vehicles. No cars or motorcycles
- Byways marked with Red: Walkers, Horse Riders, Cyclists, Cars, Motorcycles, Horse-drawn Vehicles
