There are few things more quintessential than walking England’s timelessly romantic landscapes. Its 140,000 miles of footpaths give testimony not only to the depth of this country’s walking tradition but also to the contemporary English passion for walking.
Swaths of rolling green pastures checked with endless stone fences, wild heather-cloaked moorlands, and craggy mountains with lonely tarns are exquisitely punctuated with ancient stone circles, Roman roads, medieval castles, abandoned abbeys, and quiet villages. All creating a compelling fabric of countryside rich for wandering.
