A
Country Walks
Hope village
A leisurely (悠闲的) way to spend an hour or two is by visiting the busy village of Hope with its lovely country gardens. A gentle walk towards the hills will soon bring you to excellent views.
Country Park
The Lime House here attracts thousands of visitors, but this is a pleasant walk away from the crowds, through parkland, woods and up onto the hills. Popular with bird-watchers. Allow three hours. The house was built in 1570.
Cornford
This is an easy walk through a little-known valley. See the 200-year-old buildings from the cloth-making industry which now stand empty.
Devonshire Park
Allow at least half a day, or make it a full day by visiting the adventure playground and farmyard. Stop at the cafe (open all day) or enjoy the fantastic gardens. Guided walks are available (可获得的) for small groups.
Howden lake
This two-hour walk attracts thousands of visitors. Children can go sailing on the lake with trainers.
Stanton
This walk is certainly for very fit walkers only—the paths get very slippery (滑的) after rain. Allow six hours and start early! You’re unlikely to meet another person all day. Be sure to pack food—you’ll be up on the hilltops all day.
Strines
You need to be used to walking to successfully complete this seven-hour walk through the wildest scenery in the area. Follow a little-known footpath to the highest point for miles.
Langsett
This is an exciting walk along easy paths, which are crowded at weekend. And it s a popular place for family picnics. Guided walks start from the near village (10am Sundays) and visit 800-year-old woodland.
