If you live in the UK, you probably aren’t aware of how fortunate you are to have the variety of places to walk that you do.  Public rights of way are a feature of the UK that are not necessarily replicated in other countries.  They provide the chance to walk in many places that would otherwise be out of bounds.  Also, the woodlands that are accessible are a treat.  We took a wander through Blackwood Forest while we were in the UK and Sam and Chris introduced it to us.  We weren’t going to be taking a major hike based on time available and other things, but we did have a relaxing wander through the trees.  We also had time to stop at the café in the forest, too, which may have eaten up some time while we ate up some good food!
