Must Do Hike 1: Hadrian’s Wall Path

This hike spans over 73 miles in northern England and is one of Britain’s most spectacular ancient monuments. Hadrian’s Wall was named after the Roman emperor who ordered it built. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The 84-mile path running alongside it is dotted with ancient settlements, forts and fascinating museums. This is the highest section of the Wall, offers magnificent views of the Lake District and Pennines.

Must Do Hike 2: The Lizard

The South West Coast Path twists and turns its way for 630 miles along the coastline, from Minehead in Somerset to Poole Harbour in Dorset. The path does get busy in summer, but you can still find hidden coves to stop for a refreshing dip.

Must Do Hike 3: South Downs Way

With wildlife, white cliffs and watering holes along the way, the 100-mile South Downs Way is a beautiful hike to do. The route begins in Winchester until you reach the chalk cliffs at Eastbourne. It takes around eight days to hike the entire easy-to-follow route. However it’s warned to make sure you stay well away from the edges when hiking along the cliffs. There are frequent landslips and no fence.
