A NEW guide advising the very best of Worcestershire walks has been launched by the county council.

The programme, running for the next six months, has something for everyone interested in walking including guided walks, informative talks and open days.

The guide also includes fun activities for all the family and seasonal rambles to beat off those winter blues and walk off all those Christmas excesses.

People can also learn about the many opportunities on offer to get involved with practical volunteer work, for those who like to be active and outdoors. Free copies of the guide are available in the local Tourist Information Centres, libraries and countryside centres.

Alternatively, people can download a copy at www. worcestershire.gov.uk/countryside or call 01562 710025
