Hiking and walking Holidays
Hiking and walking holidays are among the most relaxing and scenic ways to explore Great Britain. From leisurely strolls through Great Britain's quiet countryside to walking tours of Great Britain's cities to challenging hikes through hilly terrain, there’s something for all levels of hiking and walking.
The most detailed list of Great Britain's walking trails is posted at mytravelbritain.co.uk, and visitors may choose between guided walking tours or those which allow them to explore the nation's walking trails without a guide and at their own leisure. The length of hiking and walking holidays in Great Britain ranges from brief day long strolls to extended excursions which last nearly a month.
One of the most historic walks people can take in Great Britain is along the ancient Hadrian's Wall which the Romans erected to defend the northern boundary of their empire from invaders from what is now Scotland. Not all of the country's hiking trails are as historic, but most of them are certainly no less scenic.
Another popular place to hike in Great Britain is the southwesternmost point of its mainland, a tiny settlement called Land's End, while one of mainland Great Britain's northernmost points is the Scottish settlement of John o' Groats. It takes between two to three months to walk the 1,900kms distance between John o' Groats and Land's End, according to mytravelbritain.co.uk.
Some of Great Britain's most challenging hiking trails include the ones in England's Lake District and Peak District national parks as well as the trails along Scotland's numerous highlands and mountains known as Munros. However, regardless of difficulty level, mytravelbritain.co.uk is sure to contain hiking and walking holidays suitable for all visitors to Great Britain.
