Summer Walks & Hikes
Explore Britain & Europe in June, July & August
Summer is the season most walkers wait for. Long days, warm evenings and trails at their most accessible across Britain and Europe make June, July and August some of the finest months to be out on a long-distance walk.
In the United Kingdom, the fells, coastlines and countryside are at their best in full sun. The Lake District, the South West Coast Path and the Scottish Highlands all reward the longer daylight hours, with time at the end of each stage to explore, eat well and settle in.
In Europe, summer opens up the high-altitude trails of the Alps and Dolomites, while the Atlantic islands of Madeira and the Canaries offer reliable warmth without the heat of the Mediterranean interior. Early starts and a steady pace keep the days comfortable wherever you are walking.
Walkers' Britain & Europe has summer departures across Britain and Europe, from gentle countryside walks to iconic long-distance trails. Browse our summer selection below.
