The Lake District National Park is a hiker's paradise, offering a mesmerizing combination of lakes, mountains, and picturesque villages. With over 3,100 kilometers of paths and trails, there are endless opportunities to discover the unparalleled beauty of this region.
Whether you choose to conquer the towering peaks of Scafell Pike and Helvellyn or opt for a leisurely stroll around the serene Derwentwater and Buttermere lakes, the Lake District will captivate you with its stunning vistas and diverse landscapes.
2. Yorkshire Dales
Known for its idyllic countryside, charming villages, and limestone valleys, Yorkshire Dales is a haven for hikers. The extensive network of trails in this region allows you to explore picturesque waterfalls, ancient ruins, and lush green dales.
One must-visit spot in Yorkshire Dales is Malham Cove, a natural limestone formation that offers breathtaking views and is a favorite among photographers. Another iconic hike is the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, a 7.5-kilometer loop that takes you through a series of stunning waterfalls and wooded valleys.
3. Northumberland Coast
The Northumberland Coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is where the dramatic beauty of the land meets the wildness of the sea. This coastal trail showcases sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, and historic castles, making it a perfect blend of natural and cultural wonders.
One of the highlights of this region is the 26-mile long Northumberland Coast Path, which offers breathtaking views of the coastline and takes you past historic sites such as Bamburgh Castle and Dunstanburgh Castle. The trail is also famous for its rich birdlife and abundance of wildlife, including seals and dolphins.
4. Hadrian's Wall Path
For history enthusiasts, hiking along Hadrian's Wall Path is a must. This 135-kilometer trail follows the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall, which was built by the Romans in the 2nd century AD. As you walk along the ancient fortification, you can explore well-preserved sections, ancient Roman forts, and museums that bring history to life.
The diversity of landscapes and the historical significance of this trail make it a unique and enriching experience for hikers.

Stretching over 430 kilometers, the Pennine Way is one of England's most iconic long-distance trails. Starting from Edale in the Peak District and ending in Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders, this trail takes you through the heart of the stunning Pennines.
Along the way, you will encounter challenging terrains, moorlands, and breathtaking landscapes. The Pennine Way offers a true sense of wilderness and solitude, allowing you to disconnect from the bustling city life and reconnect with nature.

My book is about a personal discovery of hiking and travel in the North of England. It recounts the journey of discovery about how to hike and how to travel with hiking as the main focus. It also describes the nature of the discoveries, both personal and cultural as I explore the four main national parks in the north of England. These parks are; The Yorkshire Dales, The Yorkshire Moors, The Lake District and The Peak District. Along with the discovery of hiking is the discovery of the cultural history of the areas described. Since National Parks in England are not only areas of beauty but of cultural significance, there is much to learn. We learn about historical figures associated with the area. We find historic sites with their own resident heroes and are able to walk in their footsteps as we hike. We also are privy to settings that are used for T.V. shows and movies which is often a motivating factor to encourage people to visit the area.
This is an “Off the Beaten Track” area of England and not usually included on guided tours. By taking a Boots On approach to travel rather than a Car Oriented Road Trip, we are able to discover much about the history of an area and how to explore it by hiking rather than driving by. It is Slow Travel, and a chance to see the real England, not the tourist England.
