Walks are displayed with a brief description, location, and other information and are viewable on a Google Maps base with waypoints, and their coordinates, displayed. Car Free Walks has teamed up with the National Trust to promote reaching National Trust sites without using a car. Users are also able to add comments and rate the walk. Registered users are able to add new car free walks to the site.
