Call it a hike, a stroll, a toddle or a ramble – there really is nothing that the British like better than a jolly good walk in the countryside. Since ancient times, people have been exploring every last inch of this old island on foot, leaving behind a great web of byways, bridleways, lanes, tracks and footpaths covering practically every corner of the British landscape. So escape the city to find solace and inspiration tramping along Britain’s valleys and hilltops. Just remember to pack the brolly (umbrella).
