John: People today are amazed it took such a short time. It's amazing what an emperor can do, especially without planning regulations! The northern tribes must have been an angry lot for the Romans to take all that trouble and a lot of trouble they took - three legions of some 15,000 men plus hangers on toiled for 6 years to complete the initial wall structure.

 

 

John: What I like about walking the route with a group is to see the interest in the history, not just the obvious aesthetics of the wall meandering along the undulating hills in the distance - especially between Chollerford and Greenhead, the Mithric Temple at Brocolita, Thirlwell Castle, a medieval ruin made from wall stone, or the amazing excavated communal toilets at Housesteads Fort.

 

There is Limestone Corner, the furthest northern point of the wall where the engineers and stonemasons gave up trying to cut the ditch because the rock hardens to volcanic Dolerite. There are a couple of blocks left idle with cut incision holes remaining on them for hitting splitting wedges into, as if the workmen had just gone on a tea break and will be coming back to finish the job.

 

John: My favourite place on the wall, and one which gets overlooked by probably 90% of people who walk the route are the amazingly well preserved Roman bridge abutments on the Tyne opposite Chesters Fort.

The bridge was eventually destroyed by the changing course of the river, but the stone work is amazing and there are a couple of stone columns that once graced the bridge lying about. If you trawl through the leaves, you will find a carved phallus on one of the blocks, a Roman symbol for good luck, but also another intimate connection with a workman from yesteryear.

 

This is just a glimpse into the wealth of knowledge and passion for history John has gathered over more than two decades of guiding, and he loves nothing more than connecting with those eager to share the experience.

I have always wanted to complete a long distance walk over many days and Walkers’ Britain is ideal as there is a guide, no hassle with reading maps, luggage is moved each day and good accommodation each day.

After many years of being a member of a local running club in Cambridgeshire and completing over 130 half marathons and 9 marathons, I took up walking about 5 years ago. I walk at least 6 miles each day, and as preparation for the Coast to Coast I did four walks of at least 25 miles. Also, I carried a rucksack each day with all the items needed each day for the C2C, and this helped me realise that everything can get wet if it is not put in plastic bags!

 

The first few days in the Lake District were tough with very steep paths of rocks and tree roots and, both up and down, plus a lot of rain. I felt my confidence increasing as the days went by as my legs felt ok and I did not get any blisters. Plenty of Vaseline each day on feet is my tip. Several members of the group found the terrain very strenuous and suffered with feet problems.

Our guide was excellent with planning ahead, organising evening meals, accepting the various fitness levels of the group and our never ending questions.

The accommodation was excellent with B&Bs and small hotels and the luxury of a shower at the end of a strenuous day was just bliss!

Our group of eight walkers from five countries blended well together and we all watched out for each other and a bond quickly developed with everyone involved.

The most challenging parts for me were the hills but the views from the top made the effort worthwhile and looking back to see how far and high we had walked was a great motivation to press on.

The biggest surprise was how emotional it was to get on to the beach at Robin Hoods Bay and realise that we had finally made it to throw that stone from St Bees into the sea! Plus a surprise welcome from some of my family was a very special moment.

Finally I would add that I am 77 years old…… it’s never too late to take the challenge. The two weeks will be a memory I will always treasure.

If you're keen on walking in a group, our Coast to Coast Guided Walking Holidays fill up quickly, so we recommend booking as soon as possible.

Packing is the first ritual of the day. Boots? Check. Waterproofs? Absolutely. Snacks, hats, gloves? Yes, even in summer. A sandwich, plenty of water, phone, power bank and a ptrinted map all go into the pack. It's amazing how often you need everything. Before heading out, I always check the weather. Top tip: the Mountain Weather Information Service (MWIS) is brilliant for accurate mountain area forecasts in the UK. With all that sorted, I was out the door before 9am. Early starts mean plenty of daylight, less rush, and more time to soak up the day.



The first part of the trail was still waking up. Birdsong echoed across fields, and clouds drifted lazily. I stopped often to take photos, especially when the sun broke through. Remember to actually stop for these moments. Drink water. Lots of it. And yes, don’t be afraid to wee outdoors if needed. It’s doable, discreet, and natural. (Check out How to Shit in the Woods, a must-read for outdoor common sense.)

Choosing a lunch spot is part strategy, part spontaneity. You can plan a perfect spot using your app map, a tarn, a bench, a summit view. Or just let the landscape inspire you. I found a quiet hillock with views stretching for miles. Sandwiches taste better with a view and tired legs.

 

I loved the view from Lining Crag, you can see right down into Borrowdale, and it’s easily one of the day’s highlights. While we were taking it in, a group of local shepherds appeared with about ten dogs in tow, out gathering sheep. From our vantage point on the ascent, we watched the dogs in action, responding instantly to whistles and shouts, fanning out across the hillside to bring the flock together before driving them down to the farms in the valley for shearing. It was such an unexpected treat. People pay to watch traditional sheepdogs at work, or tune in to One Man and His Dog on TV... we saw it unfold for real.

 

Afternoon walking can be a lull. That’s where the emergency treat stash comes in: a square of chocolate or a handful of nuts to perk things up. Layers go on, layers come off. Hats off, then back on. Drink more water. Stop to listen; to birds, to distant sheep, to the gurgle of streams. Say hello to fellow hikers. Ask those coming the other way about the terrain ahead. Locals, too, often have golden nuggets of wisdom about the best cafés or secret corners nearby.

 

Everyone in the group had their own pace, but Jon kept us safe and connected, regrouping us at regular intervals, and ensuring we stayed together whenever the terrain turned challenging or the weather closed in.

Take more photos. Lie down in the grass for 15 minutes. Feel the sun on your face and soak up your daily Vitamin D. If it’s raining, enjoy the fresh scent of petrichor. Or keep walking to stay warm.

 

As the trail winds down, keep checking your route on your app or map to stay on track. There’s nothing quite like spotting your accommodation after a long day on the trail. Boots off before you walk in, please! Check in, grab your bag, and hit the shower. Then it’s clean clothes (maybe even your slightly smarter ones) and comfy shoes. Wash your socks if you have the energy. Hang them by the radiator or window.

Evening brings its own joys. A wander through the village. A pint or a cup of tea. Dinner, hopefully booked ahead if you're in a popular spot. (Pro tip: call ahead to your next accommodation and sort tomorrow’s dinner too.)

 

Jon seemed to know every perfect spot to pause for a cuppa, and exactly which pubs pour the best local ales. I guess that’s the kind of wisdom you pick up after walking this route 28 times! Dinner with the group was just as memorable, filled with lively conversation and stories from a wonderfully international mix of walkers from Scotland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. 

 

Refuel with good food and drink plenty of water (yes, even if you’ve had wine). Then bed. A dry pair of socks for the morning. Clothes laid out. Bag roughly packed for an easy start tomorrow.

This is the beauty of life on the trail: simple, nourishing, and grounded in the present. You think about weather, clothes, sunlight, birdsong, and how wonderful your bed will feel. And that, truly, is enough.

 

If you're feeling inspired, take a look at our range of Guided Coast to Coast trips, or if you're more of an individual traveller, these are the self-guided Coast to Coast walking options. See you on the Coast to Coast!

 

Trail Surfaces: From Grass to Gravel (and Mud)

One of the joys of walking in the UK is the variety. Trails might wind through pastureland, skirt coastal cliffs, cross moors or duck into ancient woodland. Surfaces change often - you’ll walk on compacted paths, flagstones, wooden boardwalks, bridleways and the occasional boggy patch.

 

Signage and Waymarking: Mostly Good, Sometimes Quirky

Waymarking across the UK varies by region and trail status. Long-distance trails that fall under the National Trails network are generally well-marked with clear acorn symbols and fingerposts. These include classics like:

• Hadrian’s Wall Path
• Cotswold Way
• St Cuthbert’s Way

Elsewhere, rights of way are marked by coloured arrows (yellow for footpaths, blue for bridleways), but signage can occasionally be faded, missing or creatively interpreted by local farmers. In the Lake District or Yorkshire Dales, a map and compass – besides our navigational app - is a wise addition.

Good to know: On our self-guided trips, we provide detailed route notes, access to our all-encompassing navigational app and emergency support – so even if the signs disappear, you won’t.

 

Accommodation Off the Trail: Cosy, Local, Characterful

One of the things travellers love about walking in the UK is the quality and personality of the accommodation. You’ll usually stay in charming family-run B&Bs, guesthouses or small inns, often with creaky staircases, roaring fires and a warm welcome. Many are steeped in local history or converted from traditional buildings like coaching inns or farmhouses.

Most walkers’ accommodation includes a hearty breakfast, a drying room for wet gear, and the option to buy a packed lunch. Evening meals are usually available nearby, think cosy pubs with local ales and comforting classics like pie & mash.

“Walkers welcome” is more than a saying here, it’s a badge of pride.

 

The Weather: Changeable, But Manageable

British weather has a reputation, and yes, it can shift quickly. But walking in the UK is a year-round activity for a reason. Spring and autumn are particularly beautiful with blooming wildflowers or golden leaves. Summer brings long daylight hours (14-19°C or 58-66°F in most regions), while early autumn often offers the clearest skies.

Be prepared for drizzle or wind with a waterproof jacket and layering system. But don’t be surprised if you’re walking in sunshine and birdsong one minute, and watching mist roll across the hills the next.

 

Final Thoughts: The UK on Foot is the UK at Its Best

There’s something timeless about walking in Britain. You pass through working farms, ancient hedgerows, Roman roads, and hidden villages with a real sense of continuity and place. Whether you’re hiking along cliffs or over hills, you’re stepping into a deep tradition of exploring landscapes on foot.

You don’t need to be a hardcore hiker, just reasonably fit, up for the weather, and willing to slow down. And with the right support in place, from maps to luggage transfers, you can enjoy the freedom of the trail with none of the faff.
 

Take a look at our range of walking holidays in the United Kingdom here. 

 

Earlier this year, we explored northern Portugal to discover of one Europe’s best kept secrets: the Peneda-Gerês National Park. What we uncovered wasn’t just another beautiful hiking destination; it was a rare pocket of the continent where the trails whisper history, the landscapes remain wild and untouched, and village life continues as it has for centuries.

This is North Portugal at its most soulful and unspoiled. Tucked away in the mountainous far north near the Spanish border, Peneda-Gerês feels a world apart from the crowded coastlines and busy pilgrim paths. It’s a place where you can truly disconnect. A slow-travel sanctuary perfect for those who crave quiet, authenticity, and meaningful moments on foot.

As Fiona Marshall, our Chief Product Officer, put it:

“I’ve walked all over the world over the last 30 years and done many of the world’s great walks — the Inca Trail, Everest Base Camp, the GR routes in the Alps, coastal trails in Catalonia, and pilgrimage roads in India. It takes a lot to impress me. But I was genuinely struck by the quality of walking in Peneda-Gerês. It’s a place I’ve vowed to return to.”

 

 

Villages That Still Feel Like Villages

What struck us most were the people and the way village life here still beats to its own rhythm. You’ll pass through hamlets of terraced stone homes, where gardens overflow with beans and courgettes, and goats wander the lanes. In the plazas, you might see locals playing cards in the sun, or women in traditional black dresses sweeping their stoops with care.

There’s a kind of warm, proud hospitality here, not flashy or performative, but real. Meals are hearty and homemade, often crafted from ingredients grown just outside the kitchen door. The wine is local, the conversation genuine, and the welcome heartfelt. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a traveller rather than a tourist, this is the place to do it.

 

 

Easy to Reach, Hard to Forget

Despite its remote feel, Peneda-Gerês is just a couple of hours from Porto, a surprisingly easy escape into a wilder, quieter Portugal. With its fresh mountain air, temperate climate, and sweeping views across deep valleys and forested slopes, it’s a destination that invites you to slow down and breathe deeply.

 

A Trail Few Have Found... For Now

This year, Arran was officially recognised as a UNESCO Global Geopark, joining a prestigious international network of protected natural landscapes. For walkers, this designation confirms what we at Walkers’ Britain have always known: Arran is one of the most extraordinary islands in the UK, and it’s best explored on foot.

 

 

The Isle of Arran Geopark now joins 229 geoparks worldwide across 50 countries, chosen for their global geological significance and commitment to sustainable development. Unlike many geoparks that protect only a specific area, Arran’s entire landscape—coastal, inland, and marine—is included.
 

Here’s why that matters to walkers:

UNESCO Global Geoparks (UGGp) are unified geographical areas that celebrate landscapes and geological sites of international importance, managed through a holistic strategy that integrates protection, education, and sustainable tourism. What makes this model unique is its grassroots approach: conservation efforts are led from the ground up, with local communities playing a key role in sustainable development. This globally recognised framework has been embraced in iconic locations like Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater, Indonesia’s Mt Rinjani, and Japan’s Izu Peninsula—each offering immersive experiences shaped by geology, culture, and community. Scotland’s Isle of Arran now joins their ranks, earning its place as one of the world’s most extraordinary destinations for nature lovers, geology buffs, and walkers alike.

Walkers’ Britain offers a self-guided walking holiday along the Isle of Arran Coastal Way, a scenic 105-kilometre trail that circles the island. Over 8 days, you’ll hike through diverse landscapes—from wild mountain ridges and serene moorland to picturesque villages and ancient castles.
 

Highlights include:

You’ll enjoy comfortable local accommodation, luggage transfers, and the freedom to walk at your own pace, while immersing yourself in one of Scotland’s most geologically important regions.

 

Whether you're new to multi-day walking in England or just want to dip your toe in a section or two, this South West Coast Path guide is here to help you take your first steps on the Cornish trail.

 

 

The full trail takes seasoned walkers around 6–8 weeks to complete, but it is also possible to choose to walk shorter sections based on time, fitness, and scenery.
 

 

They needed to keep a constant line of sight to the sea, which meant the path hugged every headland and bay. A design that today gives walkers those sweeping ocean views and dramatic ups and downs.

 

Over time, the trail evolved from a smugglers’ lookout to one of Britain’s most beloved long-distance walks. Officially designated as a National Trail in 1978, the South West Coast Path now welcomes thousands of walkers each year, drawn by its wild beauty, rich heritage, and variety of landscapes, from fossil-filled cliffs to subtropical bays.

 

 

St Ives to Penzance
Hike along a wild and surf-pummelled shoreline, taking in Land's End and a multitude of tiny coves, throbbing with the sound of breakers, the eerie call of birds and barks of seals.
 

Padstow to St Ives
Walk along the coast between the popular resorts of Padstow and St. Ives, visiting the surfer’s paradise of Newquay. 
 

Penzance to Mevagissey
A variety of coastal scenery awaits on this walk ranging from sheltered tidal creeks to the wooded Fal estuary and the brooding cliffs of the Lizard, England's most southerly point.

 

 

 

Summer (June – September):
Peak season for a reason, while popular sections can get busy.

 

 

Consider a self-guided holiday. We will organise your routes, digital maps, luggage transfers, emergency support, and accommodation.
Check tide times. Some beaches and coves may only be accessible at low tide.
