Before setting off
make sure you are acquainted with the safety aspects of long distance
walking and remember that the weather can change very quickly.
Care should be taken on any walks, and in particular long distance ones,
be prepared, buy a map and plan the route and let someone know where you
are.
If you take a dog on a long walk do make sure you know the dog is fit
enough to undertake such a walk and don't ask too much!
Your dog's safety is in your hands. Take plenty of breaks, carry water,
a blanket, a first aid kit and poo bags. Visit our Travel Advice page
for further information.
Observe the Countryside Code and control dogs.
The walks shown here are to give you a flavour of those local to the accommodation

scottish
highlands walks
|
The
Scottish Highlands contain some of Scotland’s most stunning
scenery, including National Parks and vast areas of unspoilt wilderness.
The Highlands of Scotland are known for their rich cultural heritage
and historical background.
This is an extensive area of mountains, moorland, islands, and sea
which is home to several distinctly different cultures. As well
as being a wonderful holiday destination the Highlands are home
to a quarter of a million people living in communities spread throughout
the area.
The environment of lochs, mountains and glens are just as vivid
and breathtaking as the postcards suggest, along with these come
the traditional pursuits such as angling or golf - all easily accessible
and all genuine Highland experiences

northern
ireland walks

The
beauty and variety of the landscape of Northern Ireland
makes it an ideal place for exploring on foot. It has wild craggy
mountains, splendid lakes and a sweeping coastline.
This is a land of blue mountains and forest parks, lakes and
windswept moors. Dozens of small towns are hidden away down among
the green places of the countryside,
and fishing villages string out along the shores. |

walks

Wales
is a country of varied and dramatic landscape and you’re never
far from a mountain or the sea. There are 498 miles of national trails
to follow and 18 regional routes to roam.
The Gower Peninsula was the first area in the whole of the UK to be
designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1956, and our
landscape is mountainous, particularly in north and mid Wales. The
highest mountains are in the dark and craggy Snowdonia range in the
north, and include Snowdon and as you travel south the landscape becomes
much softer, though the hills remain. In mid Wales there are the Cambrian
Mountains and moving further south The Brecon Beacons. |

lake
district walks
|
| The
Lake District is a walker's paradise at any time. The Lake District
National Park is famous for its stunning scenery, abundant wildlife
and cultural heritage. At 2,292 sq km (885 SQ MILES) the largest of
England's National Parks provides an exciting mix of mountain and
lake scenery. But take care: the weather can change suddenly, and
even if it looks fine at lower elevations, the peaks may be subject
to unpleasant conditions. Always check the weather forecast before
setting out. For the less adventurous there are countless trails among
the lower fells and around the shores of the lakes which make for
fine walking. The "Mountain Goat" buses will get you to
most of the main passes for fell walking. |

Containing
England’s largest National Park, thirty two nature reserves,
four Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Heritage Coast and miles
more magnificent shoreline, the Northwest is a region of great contrasts,
stunning scenery, amazing wildlife, endless things to do and places
to go.
North West England is a walker’s
paradise. The Lake District is the most popular location with picturesque
villages, mountains, lakes and superb scenery, whilst South East
of the Lakes and the limestone hills of the Yorkshire Dales reach
the edge of Lancashire. Lancashire, and especially its Hill Country,
is criss-crossed by thousands of miles of public footpaths. Cheshire
is a great county to explore on foot. Rocky ridges and broad river
valleys form natural routes, while the network of over 3000km of
footpaths and other public rights of way encourage you to discover
quiet corners of the countryside. |
