Discovery Walks

Connect with your local area in a new way

Ichnos Heritage Discovery Walks take you on an interactive exploration of the landscape, buildings and natural world around you.

Our discovery walks are intended not just to introduce you to aspects of the natural, cultural and built heritage of an area, but to give you new ways of experiencing the environment around you that you can then take with you on your own rambles, whether it’s a short walk with the dog or an all day hike in the hills.
