'Welcome to my walking diary, which I started in January 2013 in order to store memories and revisit happy days spent on the fells and elsewhere ...' Includes a brief description of the walk, (delightful) photographs, and a route map for - so far - some 250 walks, concentrating on the Lake District, North Yorks and East Yorks, but with some walks elsewhere.

'Hi.  I like walking in the UK and from 2001 onwards I have been busy trying to do as many National Trails, LDPs, Regional Routes and Local walks as possible.  Occasionally a mountain climb, or cycle ride gets chucked into the mix and I will bung the details up on my site - the general tone involves mockney and some self deprication!'

Gemma Barclay

'Guided walks, navigation courses and themed weekends in some stunning locations.'

Darren Parkinson

'From East Yorkshire's Wolds and Derbyshire's Peak District to the North Yorkshire Moors and Pennines, you will find the valleys among the rolling hills, the limestone scars, the gritstone ridges universally known as "Dales". This vast area provides some of the best & most varied walking opportunities in the country.  Dales Trails gives you some ideas how to explore Yorkshire and other parts of Northern England on foot, and find hidden delights off the beaten track.'

'I've been lucky enough to have grown up on Dartmoor and after a spell in the military, I returned to live on the moor. As a teenager, many of my weekends were spent walking for enjoyment and in more recent years I have rediscovered that joy of walking on Dartmoor ...'

'This Website was started as a way of recording walks we had done. We later added a lot of stuff about efforts to reduce our carbon footprint ... The walks pages are frequently updated, with new walks added, but the energy pages less so ... We have hundreds of free self-guided walks ... for you to read, download or follow using the on-line OS maps.'

'Provides free simple to follow directions for various walking routes, including GPS downloads and gives basic advice on a variety of walking issues.'

'Offers you a mix of short walks and longer rambles in the local countryside. All featuring country pubs. The first in the collection are about three to four miles long and fairly easy. Allow two hours for most. The later additions, from walk 16 onwards are longer.'

David and Ellie Brewer

'The objective of Hikeview is to provide information about trail-marked long distance walking routes and provide resources to help plan a walk on any of these routes.'

'53 self-led, fairly strenuous walks using public transport, in, and near to, Lancashire ... The walks are only suitable for very fit and experienced hillwalkers who are accomplished map readers and proficient with a compass.  Do not undertake them unless you are totally confident in your ability.  It would also be wise to avoid the high level walks in inclement weather. The walks have been devised to be repeated on a Tuesday during the same week every year.  The walks range in distance from 11 to 19 miles, averaging 14 miles.'

'We've devised 182 walks in Cornwall, ranging from 2 to 10 miles, totalling 865 miles. Each walk has a map of the route, detailed directions, photos and some information about the area. The walks are classified by length, steepness grade, type of scenery (coastal, moorland, riverside etc) and, of course, whether there's a pub.'

'The English Lake District is the most beautiful terrain I know. In 1990 I was fortunate to be able to come to live here permanently and walk the Lakeland fells to my heart's content. This site is dedicated to all those who explore the area on foot.'

John Dawson

'This is not the first website to describe walks on the UK's long distance footpaths, and it is certainly not the best. However many of the other websites are written by people who are super-fit - and men. I'm neither ...'

Sally Jordan

'The North West of England is famous for its walks, whether it's the rugged peaks of the Lake District, the picturesque Lancashire coast or the tranquility of the West Pennine Moors. Here you'll find dozens of walking guides written - and trodden - by well-known Lancashire author and nature expert Ron Freethy.'

'I am walking around the coast of Great Britain, starting at Tower Bridge in London (that well known coastal resort) on Monday 6th April 2015 and walking anti-clockwise. This isn’t a world first as other people have done it before, although with so many islands, estuaries and no defined coastal path the whole way round, it’s difficult to be precise about anything. I have reckoned on taking one year and covering approximately 6000 miles.' The Blog on the Website ended on 6 December 2016 with a total of 3,276 miles walked recorded ...

'This site has grown from the Walk Eryri website (that was established way back in 2004) and the author’s desire to create a home for all the excellent free walking routes created online by indy websites and other organisations. We intend to provide the UK’s largest single database of mapped and fully explained free routes, not just some route plot with a sentence, with a route plotter to follow ...'

Matt O'Brien

'My descriptions of the walks are not of the sort to tell you exactly the route in specific detail as l believe that all walkers should carry the relevant OS Explorer map and a compass or GPS, preferably both should your batteries run out! Our OS maps are the best that l see in whatever country l visit and we should use them.'

'This selection of walks in Northumberland follow recognised public rights of way or permissive paths and should be easy for most people to negotiate: but please remember that wet and winter weather can make paths muddy in places and the summer months produce fresh growth of vegetation - so wear suitable clothing and footwear.'

'Oliver's Cornwall has recently undergone major changes. Increasingly, my visitors are looking for walks. So I have created Oliver's Cornwall Walking Pages, with pages for the Coast Path, Coastal Round Walks, Inland Trails, Coast-to-Coast Trails and Country and Moorland Walking.'

'A slowly growing collection of walking routes easily accessible by train from London, mostly within an hour or thereabouts of the central termini. The walks link fantastic countryside, historic monuments and country villages; the geography of south-east England means that none are hugely strenuous.'

'A series of 47 circular walks of varying length and difficulty, taking in the varied countryside of East Sussex, promoted by the County Council ... They also seem to be aimed at promoting the patronage of local businesses.'

'My hobby is walking and most weekends I go for a 12-15 mile walk, usually in the Chiltern Hills where I live. I then add a description of the walk to the latest walks page of this web site, complete with photographs and a map of the route (courtesy of Google Maps). I have also walked a number of long-distance paths ...'

'This is a collection of journals written by Colin and Mark, two brothers from Brum, as they wander across various bits of the UK. Now, if you are looking for a formal walking guide with lots of helpful directions and great information on tourist attractions you may be disappointed. On the other hand, if you want to have a more personal view of the aches and pains (and of course the fun) of a long distance hike then choose a journal from Our Diaries and enjoy the read! '

My walk around the British coastline, in stages  'I started in Kings Lynn, on the Lincolnshire/Norfolk border, on April 18th 2010. I have been walking clockwise round the coast of mainland Britain, in stages, since then.'

'The last ten or so years have passed uncomfortably quickly, it seems like only yesterday that I walked my first trail in the summer of 2004; the North Downs Way. Since then, trailwalking has become something of an addiction, an addiction made stronger by the very limited times I get off work ...'

'The Yorkshire Dales provide one of the best walking areas in the country covering a wide variety of scenery and some isolated locations many of which can be accessed by public transport. Many of the walks make use of the excellent Settle-Carlisle train service and local transport links - no car needed! For this reason I would initially recommend a visit to the Ribblehead and Three Peaks area, Moorcock Inn, Dentdale and Little White Bus [Hawes] pages.'

'The Siite suggests and describes short circular walks in Wiltshire (and nearby) ... This is for walkers with modest ambitions. Walks are all between 2 and 5 miles, so between 1 and 3 hours in duration (of course longer if you explore). There is no site registration and no advertising.'

'A continuing record of my days out walking and cycling in the British Countryside (sometimes beyond!) and I hope will inspire others to discover that even with a limited amount of time to spare they can still complete our long distance trails.'
