Ben Ledi from Callander Duration: Full day Type: Mountain (above 600m)
Ben Ledi is a fine hill in the wonderful Trossachs hills. It's normally approached from the A84 car park, but starting from Callander along the dismantled railway - now a national cycle route - allows you to visit the impressive Falls of Leny on the way. It adds a couple of hours to the route, but makes this great hill into a full day out. ...more >

Chester's city walls Duration: Stroll (1-2 hours) Type: City/Town
Chester is a picturesque city, and the locals say the best way to see it is from the city wall that circles it.

On Ilkley Moor ... Duration: Half day Type: Moorland

Start at Burley-in-Wharfedale station, explore to your heart's content, and descend into Ilkley. For more information about the moor, visit: www.ilkleymoor.org...more >

Saddleworth Moor Duration: Full day Type: Moorland
It's amazing how quickly you can leave the city for some wild moorland. Saddleworth Moor is just ten miles from the centre of Manchester, but feels like another world. This route, which starts in Greenfield, circuits the reservoirs near the town before heading out onto the moor, through which the Pennine Way passes. Crowded country it may be, but the countryside is never far away....more >
