A superb walk at any time of year but especially in the Spring when the daffodils and later the bluebells put on an eye-catching display of vibrant colour. An easy walk for about 6k follows a path, meandering along beside a small river and through sheep fields with their new born lambs in the Spring. Refreshments available at The Daffy Cafe or the Feversham Arms

Attractive local market town on the edge of the Moors. the Market Square and tiny streets are great for boutique shopping, art galleries, stores which celebrate local food and drink producers. Cafes and restaurants are in abundance and many walks start and end here.
