After months in lockdown most of us are looking forward to getting out and about a bit more.
With restrictions lifting, it means we can now go a bit further afield to enjoy a family walk.
But if you don t know an area it can be a little tricky to find somewhere that s right for you - particularly if you ve got babies and little ones in tow. That s why the Greater Manchester Walking website, which features more than 200 walks, is proving such a hit with families.

Winning tip: Therapeutic curry, north Devon
A little hut/cafe appears on the beach in March each year in Woolacombe, north Devon (itâs starting just before Easter this year). Away from the bustle of the main tourist beach, the cafe is on a smaller, calmer Barricane beach, and in the evening it serves Sri Lankan curry â which is hard to come by in Devon. Thereâs something therapeutic about eating Sri Lankan cuisine, listening to the sound of the waves, seeing the sun go down and watching the impressive swimmers. Curry evenings are determined by the weather and announced on Instagram: @barricanecafe. Bring towels or folding chairs to sit on. Cafe 10am-5pm, curries 5pm-7pm, although curries can sell out.
The letter to Gladys Jones arrived without fanfare - and probably without much hope of a reply.
It had been sent by a family she’d met just once on a Danube riverboat in Vienna five years earlier.
A little boy’s shoe had threatened to muddy her skirt as he’d knelt up to get a better view, but she’d laughed it off and accepted his father’s invitation for coffee and a slice of Sachertorte (a rich Austrian chocolate cake) by way of apology.
On Gladys’s return to England, she’d sent a note thanking him for his hospitality. Then, one imagines, this middle aged wife of a Chester dentist considered the encounter no more than a souvenir of her 1934 holiday.
