These well waymarked trails (like the one pictured here) will take you to where Charles Waterton lived, walked and watched nature.  There are four routes which follow public rights of way.  Please see 'Downloads' for a Waterton Trail leaflet, why not print a leaflet and walk in the footsteps of Waterton?!

Walking in the Countryside

Don't forget to wear suitable footwear in winter. Small sections of these walks cross farmland. The farmers are aware of the rights of way which cross their land and welcome careful walkers.  In Haw Park Wood, there is open access, although it is better to keep to the woodland rides.  When crossing the golf course, please be aware of the golfers.
