In recent
years there has been a massive growth in the number of walkers enjoying
the countryside.
It has become an all-inclusive sport and one that can be enjoyed at
all levels.

walking tip
Tourist
Information Centres have advise on walks which are suitable
for people with disabilities.
And remember where a wheelchair can go so can a pram or pushchair.
Don't let children stop you walking!
Most walkers
in fact probably wouldn't even consider themselves walkers!
There
are now more opportunities for people with disabilities to enjoy the
countryside more actively too.
The Ramblers Association has done a great deal to promote this in
recent years as have many local authorities.
The Fieldfare Trust (0114 270 1668) works closely with many local
authorities to help promote access to the countryside for people with
limited mobility.
