Whether you’re meandering through the countryside, ambling along the coast, wandering through woodlands or exploring city streets, the discovery of a secret transforms a simple stroll into a proper adventure.

Secret Walks gives you cause to pause and take another look at the landscape that surrounds us; to contemplate some of the hidden treasures that lie waiting to be found, on well-trodden ground, let alone around the more remote corners of the country.
Enjoy these trails of the unexpected.
