One of the most popular types of active holidays which are enjoyed worldwide are hiking holidays, and when it comes to holidaying in the UK, there are plenty of trails both long and short that can provide a scenic and relaxing journey. Depending on what visitors will want from their holiday, there are also plenty of accommodation options for people who are looking for basic budget options or would like a little bit more luxury between the legs of their hike.
Probably the most famous of the UK’s long distance hikes is the Coast to Coast walk which was originally created by famed walker and writer Alfred Wainwright, and has been walked by thousands of people since. This walk offers some aspects of coastal walking, but generally offers a good and broad overview of the different scenery in the UK, from the rugged hills of the north east to the breathtaking Lake District, and is usually completed in between two and three weeks.
Another popular walk is the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path, which as the name sounds is a path which follows the entire coast of the Welsh county, and has everything from rocky cliffs to the beautiful sandy beaches that it is famous for, and has a few nice villages and towns along the way too. This can be completed by staying at basic B&Bs and youth hostels, or by going for more luxurious hotels along the route.
When it comes to mountain scenery in long distance walking, The West Highland Way in Scotland is probably one of the best in the UK, and is very popular among walkers. Not only does it have the mountainous majesty of some of Scotland’s best scenery, there are also some lower areas which boast different, but equally impressive scenery.
On the whole, there are some exceptional hikes in the UK which visitors will simply love, and whether they are only going to go walking for a couple of days, or are going to accept one of the great challenging walks that are there, there is a hike that is suitable for almost every fitness and experience level, and will leave visitors both inspired and delighted to have made the choice to choose the UK for their hiking.
