For a bit of desk-based exploring (just while you dig out the old walking boots!) we have a couple of great virtual galleries and tours for you.

A gallery here shows the full walk in detail, showing many highlights of the route.

Or you can check out video of the walk in record-breaking mile a minute speed, so you can race your way around the route in a film experience that's like Benny Hill and the Blair Witch combined!

You can also inspire yourself with a gallery of amazing virtual reality pictures from the BBC's great programmes on prehistoric life.

Some of the pictures on the website show how the landscape and its inhabitants might have looked hundreds of years ago. You can even print them out and take them with you on our Bubbenhall walk to compare the pictures with what you can see on the site today.

And if you fancy sharpening your nature-spotting skills before you head out on the walk, try our addictive pair matching game against the clock - and Double your Bunny!
