Walking Trails

Walking is one of our favourite ways to explore a place. It helps us slow down, switch off and really take in the surroundings. Wherever we travel, we try to include at least one local walk, whether it is a nature trail, a coastal path or a gentle countryside route.

This page brings together walking trails we have personally enjoyed in the UK and other destinations. The walks are easy to follow and focus on scenery, nature and a relaxed pace. Each trail links to a full guide with simple, practical tips to help you plan your walk.
