fter polishing off a great meal, there is nothing better than getting outside for a brisk walk to ease your full belly. So here's a small list of countryside gems you might not know of. Get outside, exercise whilst exploring your local surroundings and you might even spot some of nature's beautiful creatures. If you'd like to venture further afield then contact the Outdoor Recreation team. They have great knowledge and maps of more great places to visit around the UK. Where do you enjoy walking? We'd love to hear of any hidden adventures. Please let us know on our facebook page @100FSS.
