Experience the Moors ... Join NYMA's friendly, sociable guided walks and visits to places of historical, cultural and environmental interest, led by people keen to share their favourite places.

Most walks are 5-7 miles long and include a picnic stop and plenty of opportunities to admire the view.

Dogs are normally welcome, but please check with the walk leader.

We're always keen to add more walks and events to our programme, so please get in touch if you have a special place you'd like to share!
