OCTAGON WALKS
To mark the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2012, the Octagon identified a set of walks which use existing footpaths and bridleways to link all the villages together. Detailed information about these walks can be found in the Octagon Walks leaflet, which is available from local pubs, shops and churches. You can also download many of the walks from the Octagon Walks page of this website.
