Whether you want a lazy stroll with a great pub lunch at the end, a windswept coastal wander or a mountainous hike with spectacular views, there’s something for everyone in our pick of 20 of the best walks across England, Scotland and Wales.
Of course, you could always just lace up your hiking boots and set off into the wilds … but we want to help you get more out of your walking and discover the secrets of our beautiful countryside. This is why we’ve teamed up with the Ramblers walking charity, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year.
The guides are selected from Ramblers Routes, an ever-growing collection of Britain’s best walks as chosen by the experts – and our writers have been out putting them to the test.
For full details on each walk, including step-by-step instructions and online access to GPX data – allowing you to follow the route on your smartphone – simply follow the link at the beginning of each article and register your details to view the routes for free.
We will be publishing our selection of great country walks over four days on the website – with 20 urban walks to follow next week.
The Ramblers aims to help everyone, everywhere, enjoy walking and protect the places we all love to walk in. It is the only charity dedicated to looking after paths and green spaces, leading walks, opening up new places to explore and encouraging everyone to get outside and discover how walking boosts your health and happiness.
Ramblers members get full access to more than 2,000 walking routes across Britain, plus many other benefits. To join today, from only £3 a month, visit ramblers.org.uk/join or call 020 7339 8595.
So, with so many great walks out there, what are you still doing indoors?
