'Accessible Countryside for Everyone (ACE) is an independent voluntary project, it is not a sales platform, it does not endorse products, it is here to provide information and promote accessibility to leisure and sport in England and Wales – primarily aimed at those with mobility issues, their carers and families.'
'Discover the sights, sounds and experiences of the forest. From the quiet of the woods to the call of the wild, there's something for everyone ... ' ALERT Natural Resources Wales has taken over the functions previously carried out by Forestry Commission Wales. The Map features nature reserves, trails, and open access land, as well as ‘woodlands’. Check the Sub-Section ‘Things to do’ within the Section ‘Days Out’ for details of some of the ‘Walks’ on offer within the natural environment of Wales.
* National Trails Featured
'National Trails are long distance walking, cycling and horse riding routes through the best landscapes in England and Wales. In Scotland the equivalent are 26 Great Trails.' (And in Northern Ireland there is the Ulster Way.)
'Wales U3A is not a U3A. It is simply a Website which lists all the ... Welsh U3As ... with links to their own Websites so existing and prospective U3A members can see what individual U3As have to offer.'
'The Disabled Ramblers exists to help mobility-challenged people get back out into the countryside. Able-bodied helpers are welcome to support members and to help with loading scooters ... About 30 rambles are run each year across England and Wales – mostly from March to October ... When time permits, our routes are being added to ViewRanger. This enables you to see the route on your computer and then download it to your Smartphone. You can then follow the route on your phone as you go along.'
'Spectacular mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to a proud industrial heritage and mining tradition. The human hand and the power of ice have actively shaped these landscapes for centuries ... '
'Whether it's a short amble or a long ramble, we have the walks for you. Walking is the best way to get outdoors and enjoy nature, what better place to enjoy it than in the mountains or on the coastline of Wales?'
‘We are working on developing new maps for displaying our environmental data, including maps to show open access land and where any restrictions may be in place. In the meantime, you can view details of where and when Open Access has been excluded or restricted. You can view and download some of our data sets on Lle – the Welsh Government Portal for environmental data. Or find out how to request information from us.’
'People's Collection Wales is a free website dedicated to bringing together Wales's heritage. The Collection is full of fascinating photographs, documents, audio and video recordings and stories that link to the history, culture and people of Wales. These items have been contributed to our website not only by national institutions but also individuals, local community groups and small museums, archives and libraries across Wales.'
'Ramblers Cymru is the Welsh section of the charity. We have over 40 groups in Wales which offer led walks every week of all lengths and difficulties.'

'Welsh Water Visitor Attractions – A dam fine day out ...Your hubs for health, wellbeing and recreation. Reconnecting you with the outdoors, water and environment.'
'At Wild About Wales we provide guided walks in the hills and mountains of the Snowdonia National Park. At the heart of the park lies the highest point in England and Wales; Snowdon, Yr Wyddfa. This beautiful mountain is the destination for many visitors and we delight in introducing its many routes to walkers and scramblers who come on our excursions.' Note that this Entry was originally Wild Walks Wales - but on review I could not find those listed on the Website of Graham Uney Mountaineering.
'This is a website which records Fair Trade Ways walked throughout Wales, and contains ideas for you to create your own walks in your own communities. The walks will vary from long distance paths linking Fairtrade Towns to short walks used by campaigners to promote Fair Trade.'
'During 1854 travel writer George Borrow journeyed right across Wales on foot. He recorded his interaction with the Welsh people, its language and scenery. Today you can follow in Borrow's footsteps using this app. Read his vivid accounts of Welsh life in the mid 19th century and uncover just how much change has taken place during that time.' ALERT Website Link changed at Review.
'Almost 28,000 Pillboxes were built in 1940/41 but now it is estimated only about 20% remain and many of these are in a poor condition. There may only be 1000 left in good condition. Their survival is threatened, even though interest in pillboxes is growing, and many more are likely to disappear. This website is a record of ones I have seen and how you can find them on walks throughout the country.'
'Looking for waterfall walks in Wales? There are 141 route guides to choose from ... and there are also galleries covering each of the waterfalls I have visited ...'
