PEOPLE have the chance to explore 400 miles of the County Durham landscape in the coming months.
Durham County Council has produced a new programme of 68 guided walks from October to December.
The programme includes easy town strolls and photographic walks, hard hikes along the Weardale Way and literary walks in hidden valleys. The walks are led by experts in subjects such as local history, geology, ecology and industrial archaeology and are designed to give walkers the chance to learn something about the area. All walks cost £2 for adults and £1 for concessions.
There are even short walks lined up for Christmas Day and Boxing Day and antidotes for too much festive fun on December 28 and 29.
Programme leaflets are available in libraries, tourist information centres or from the council on 0191-383 4144.
The walks are also listed in the what's on section of the council's website (www.durham.gov.uk).
