- Walking and Hiking UK
WalkingAndHiking was formed to offer a unique reference point on trekking and rambling in safety.
Walking isn't just good exercise, it's also a great way to enjoy yourself, getting out into the country and hiking. You might want the steep, barren hills of the Peak District, the taxing length of the Pennine Way or the more rolling, and less strenuous, scenery of the South Downs, but wherever you go in Britain, there's plenty of glorious hiking. However, there was no website to satisfy both beginners and experienced hikers - and that's why we created WalkingAndHiking.
