This is something different to do and which we highly recommend for a great, inexpensive, family day out. It keeps the kids entertained and they have a great time exploring. new places. Its not only fun but healthy and educational. It adds an exciting dimension to a walk and its excellent value for money. Am I gushing too much? It’s only because we love them.

We find it is an excellent way of discovering an area and learning a little bit of history, even areas you think you know well because these trails usually take you off the beaten track exploring the alley ways and backstreets that you wouldn’t necessarily find if just walking.
