Top 5 Walking Tours in England

West Burton, Leyburn DL8 4JW, United Kingdom

“Great hidden gem which you wouldn't have any clue existed as it's nicely tucked away. You park on the road that runs through the village and walk about 300 yards to the falls. As you approach you start to hear the stream and the falls start to open up. It's a spectacular sight as you can get very close. Be careful because it's slippery in places.”

Harvington Hall Ln, Harvington, Kidderminster DY10 4LR, United Kingdom

“An amazing place to visit. Our guild Wendy was so nice and knowledgeable she made the experience even better. It has the most priest holes then any other house I have been to. To day they had a reenactment, the costume were great and the guns and canon were loud and amazing. It cost £12 to enter, it's not national trust but I was happy to pay it. I would recommend a visit and will go back with my grandkids”

Station Rd, Thurstaston, Wirral CH61 0HN, United Kingdom

“We were booked in for 3 nights here. 1st time to the site, we will come again. Close to family, which was the reason for the trip. Nice layout, clean ablutions, easy to find with Google maps. Friendly, helpful staff on site. Tidy site, overlooking the River Dee. The fish and chip van visits on a Tuesday evening. We can recommend them. They also have a pizza guy on a Friday evening too. You are welcome to use the social club meant for the Thurstaston Caravan Owners Club, where they have live music and bingo. It is only open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.”

Whiteness Rd, Broadstairs CT10 3QL, United Kingdom

“Sheltered bay with step access from the road. Good views of the impressive Kingsgate Castle building (not a tourist attraction), though the concrete sea defences below it detract somewhat from the natural beauty. The cave on the opposite side of the bay once connected the beach to the Captain Digby pub, but has suffered damage from collapses and is now unsafe to enter. No parking specifically for Kingsgate Bay, so best visited by a walk from nearby Botany Bay.”

Sennen, Penzance TR19 7BE, United Kingdom

“The best campsite in the UK? Possibly! Excellent location, within 10 minutes of world class surf beaches and rock climbing areas. Postcard worthy views, stunning sunsets. The campsite facilities are great, very well thought out, spotlessly clean and very friendly. There are also warm wetsuit showers! There is a pretty well stocked shop, although be warned if you go in the morning, you will find it hard to resist the smell of fresh croissants! It isn’t the cheapest site around but it’s very reasonably priced for what you get. 10/10”

New Barn Farm, Swallows Ln, Dial Post, Horsham RH13 8NN, United Kingdom

“Supported what they were doing and have previously visited and carried out surveys but have lost a lot of respect knowing that they welcome the Crawley & Horsham hunt on their land. Charlie Burrell's uncle is a director of the hunt so it appears to be a family business. They close down any mention of their support on their social media by deleting or hiding comments. Seems it isn't 'on brand' for their Knepp business. Ironically Isobella Tree calls out dog walkers for letting their dogs loose in the wild in her book Wilding. No association is made between their beloved ‘letting off steam’ and the impact on wildlife. In a depleted environment beset by pollution, fragmentation and climate change, uncontrolled dogs are yet another burden, to add to predation by free-roaming domestic cats, putting unwarranted pressure on wildlife.

Mill Ln, Cambridge CB2 1RS, United Kingdom

“A must visit while visiting Cambridge! Staff were very professional and definitely play a massive role in your experience! We learned so much about Cambridge, but also enjoy some stunning views!”

Wasdale Head, Seascale CA20 1EX, United Kingdom

“Camped for one freezing November night during a short backpacking trip. The site was perfect: welcoming staff, nice little shop but the facilities: oh my! Spotless washrooms, heated floors, lovely hot showers and a most welcome drying room. Nice grassy area for tents, very slight slope, but not an issue. Views to die for. The whole site is a credit to the NT and the local staff.”

PRE-BOOKING ESSENTIAL, Predator Experience, Ayside, Grange-over-Sands LA11 6HY, United Kingdom

“My goodness is this experience my cup of tea! I am a HUGE animal lover, it's just a fact. If there's animals involved, I'm there. I'm the guy at the party who hangs out with the dog, that's just who I am. So when my wife surprised me with this experience for my birthday this October, I couldn't wait. The couple who run the place are very nice and personable and clearly know what they're talking about, they have many years of collective experience. They have wolves and there is also a small paddock with a pair of foxes which are also worth a visit. The experience is just amazing. It only involves small groups, so crowds aren't overwhelming. It's also easy enough to find with Google Maps. You get face to face (literally) with the wolves. You get to walk them, you get to watch them all howl as a pack, you get to feed them, and you come away with many many photos. Cameras are allowed, but the weather was so miserable when we were there that I decided to just use my phone. I still came away with some lovely photos amd the weather didn't stop us having an amazing time. They're just the most beautiful creatures. Make sure you follow the instructions beforehand, don't come wearing any fur-lined clothing or leather or bits of food on you and you'll get on just fine. These are young wolves so they're very friendly, not much different from your dog at home. I absolutely loved it ❤️”

North Trigon, Wareham BH20 7NZ, United Kingdom

“Fantastic campsite for families, we have 3 young boys and they loved it. Heated pool was a massive hit. Pitches are all well maintained (we had fully serviced), the toilet block was always very clean, take away food options in the evenings were a bonus, staff are very friendly. Not quite 5 stars for a couple of reasons: There are only 2 toilet blocks and they are at the front of the site, so can be bit of a walk for some of the pitches (I noted some people driving to the block in the morning). There are a lot of seasonal pitches and whilst everyone was friendly it felt a little cliquey. Despite clear posting that dogs were not allowed in the pool area, it seemed that there were always people with dogs sat around the pool and the staff seemed to turn a blind eye. The negatives are minor and we will be back, this really is a great campsite.”

42 St John's St, Keswick CA12 5AG, United Kingdom

“My friend and I have completed 4 walking holidays wheh Mickledore. Each one has been a unique and excellent experience. The company provides superb pre holiday information and instructions that are easy to follow. Accommodation and meals have always been to the highest standard. Any special needs we have had have been dealt with promptly and efficiently. We look forward to our next holiday in 2024 Jayne Sue and Bertie”

Mill Ln, Baylham, Ipswich IP6 8LG, United Kingdom

“Headed out to Baylham House as had seen they had a Christmas Fair on today. Well, they had about 10 stalls. Wasn't the best at all. To start with we thought there was knot 2 as the others were hidden from view and no signs etc. Anyway, we had a nice time looking at the animals and I'm sure if you were to visit with young children or with the plan to see the animals, it would be lovely, but that wasn't what we came for today.”

Berwick-upon-Tweed TD15 1JB, United Kingdom

“A lovely landmark to visit. Stunning views. Very windy but worth walking the short peir to see. We spotted a seal in the sea also!!”

Harbour, Rye Harbour, Rye TN31 7TX, United Kingdom

“A lovely setting right next to the nature reserve. There are amenities on site like a bar that provides entertainment if that’s your thing. Just outside the venue is the William the Conqueror pub and a little cafe that is open in the mornings, although not every day. Take a walk to the sea shore passing the Discovery centre to look at the many different birds and if you’re lucky you may see seals in the river. It’s ideal for a short break to get away from it all, lovely and peaceful.”

Foxhole Ln, Bolney, Haywards Heath RH17 5NB, United Kingdom

“Incredible location for food, cafe & wine tasting. Can get busy so book in advance. Free parking. Walking tours available. Dogs allowed in outside cafe seating. Prices are reasonable. Friendly staff.”

Lowestoft NR33 0QG, United Kingdom

“Brilliant wide sandy beach on a beautiful Suffolk coastline and has loads of beach huts on the seafront toilets are nearby and also a short walk from Claremont and South pier it was high tide when we visited today the sea was quite moderate too but easy getting down for a nice long paddle and the weather stayed dry it was also nice and quiet on the beach too and plenty of room to sit and watch the world go by”

Grange, Keswick CA12 5XA, United Kingdom

“It ended up being a long drive today to end up at the Bowder Stone with lots of other views along the way. The walk to the Stone was only short but lovely and the rock is certainly impressive with the size and shape. I’ve never seen one like it. Was it off the cliffs or from an ice flow!? It does seem to have been gently placed where it now sits. Very interesting! A few people were bouldering, on the bolder which made for an unusual sight. The stairs to the top was an unexpected addition and you can see that thousands of people had been on top by the polished rock up there. We parked I one of the few places available by the road.”

Ilfracombe EX34 8LR, United Kingdom

“Amazing little beach hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the tourists, some fun little roads getting in there and free car park very small but worth a visit as paddle boarding around the bays over the rocks is amazing”

A414, St Albans AL3 6AH, United Kingdom

“Beautiful location, and must have been stunning in its day. Now sadly a small ruin but still lovely and a great place to take in the view and rest after a long walk from the gateway.”
