RESIDENTS will have the chance to blow away winter cobwebs on a guided tour of some of the region's most dramatic and scenic views.

Countryside wardens will lead the free event next weekend and will follow the Hart to Haswell Walkway route in Hartlepool.

Walkers will venture cross-country and return along the town's north coastline.

Hartlepool Borough Council's countryside wardens will be on hand to point out historical features and wildlife.

Anyone interested in joining the walk should meet at the entrance to the Hart to Haswell Walkway, off Ocean Road, at 10am on Sunday. Return is scheduled for about 1.30pm.

Walkers are advised to wrap up warm and wear sturdy footwear as well as take their own packed lunch and drinks.
