Winter 2009 community walks

Explore the glorious Vale of Glamorgan’s countryside, whilst investing in your health and great company at the same time. These sociable strolls are led by experienced walk leaders, upon a variety of Vale wide walks devised by green charity Valeways.  Valeways has re-opened over 200km of previously un-walkable footpaths since its inception in 1996 with the support and sheer hard work of hundreds of volunteers.

For more information on these led walks, or volunteering with Valeways, please contact the office on 01446 749000.
