TWO guides have been launched detailing outdoor activities in the Darlington borough in autumn.

The council's Town Guided Walks in Darlington covers weekly walks until the end of November. The walks take place at weekends and occasionally on Wednesdays, from 2pm.

All walks will be guided by local historians and cost £2 for adults or £1 for concessions.

Autumn countryside events, including a bat walk at Neasham, nature reserve work and bike rides, are featured in a separate leaflet.

The guides are available from the library and town hall, or by telephoning (01325) 388637.
