A new series of Denbighshire walks is encouraging walkers to try out more 'sustainable' travel routes.
Produced by Denbighshire County Council's tourism department, the newly published '8 Sustainable Walks: Discover Denbighshire by Bus' has been developed to help walkers leave their cars at home to discover more of what the county has to offer.
The walks were created by Julie Brominicks who had the county’s bus services in mind.
Ms Brominicks was an educator at the Centre for Alternative Technology near Machynlleth.
Her book, 'The Edge of Cymru', published by Seren Books, is the story of her walk around Wales in the course of a year.
Ms Brominicks' work is also published regularly in the BBC Countryfile magazine.
Arranged in order from the shortest to the longest, and each with its own map, the walks are accompanied by Ms Brominicks' descriptions.
The walks take in some of the most picturesque areas including the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Llangollen Canal World Heritage Site.
They also start and finish near a bus stop, to encourage walkers to leave the car at home.
Councillor Jason McLellan, leader of the council and lead member for economic growth and tackling deprivation, said: "Denbighshire is a fantastic walking destination for both residents and visitors alike.
"We have stunning varied scenery to walk through to relax and soak in the views.
"It’s great that this new series of walks helps you relax even more by taking away the stress of driving and parking and it fits in so well with how we are working to improve the county’s environment."
