Not all walks need be a forced march. Here are 4 of Britain's gentlest routes, both urban trails and countryside meanderings（曲径）.
The Grand Union Canal, Birmingham
Start Point:The Bordesley Centre
The original Grand Union Canal runs for 137 miles, taking you through an industrial area to discover the hidden world of canals, with narrow boats, wildlife and fishermen. Along the canal, look out for wildflowers and birdlife, and narrow boats negotiating the locks. The walk can be extended along the canal at either end to make it flexible in length.
Warley Woods, Keswick
Start point:Keswick Youth Hostel
Starting in the centre of Keswick, this walk takes you up through Castlehead Wood, the perfect place for a woodland adventure, and to a wonderful viewpoint over Derwentwater and the surrounding mountains. The route then takes you down to the lakeshore and returns across Crow Park to the market square.
Chester-le-Street, County Durham
Start point:Chester-le-Street Amateur Rowing Club
A lovely riverside walk along the banks of the River Wear, through Riverside Park and past Durham county football club. The circular route follows a curve in the river, meaning you'll have beautiful views along the way. Watch the rowers on the river or stop in the park to feed the swans and ducks. This walk is wheelchair-friendly.
Hathersage Flower Meadows（草地），Derbyshire
