SIX new leaflets have been published to help walking enthusiasts in east Durham.

Easington District Council has produced the publications to add to its popular Walkaround series.

The new leaflets cover walks in Hutton Henry and Hurworth Burn, Haswell to Hart, High Hesleden and Nesbitt Dene, Murton and South Hetton, Thornley and Wheatley Hill and Deaf Hill.

Council tourism officer Melanie Lowes said: "The seven existing Walkaround leaflets have been very successful and we hope the new additions to the series will prove just as popular."
