See Britain on foot

The UK is graced with some pretty epic – and surprisingly diverse – scenery. Of course, there are all the quintessentially British rolling hills you’d expect, but there's also razor-sharp rocky peaks, rugged coastlines, glittering lakes, towering forests and much more besides. What’s more, with an excellent network of public footpaths threading through these gorgeous landscapes, there are ample opportunities to explore them. Intrigued? We’ve rounded up the best walking routes in the UK, all of which are achievable in a day.
