Walking in the UK

Walking in the UK can be one of the most relaxing and rewarding ways of discovering some of the most beautiful locations in the country, and a great way to spend your holidays.

If you are planning on walking in the UK the Sherpa Van Project offers a door to door baggage moving service on many of Britain's long distance walking trails, so that you can take the weight off your shoulders and enjoy walking in the UK without a heavy pack. We will move your bags for you, door to door, from hotels, B&Bs or campsites along the many and varied long distance trails that make walking in the UK such a unique experience.

Walking in the UK brings alive the countryside and the history comes alive when which bring alive the descriptions of writers like Wordsworth and Thomas Hardy. You may visit places where Roman legions marched and fierce battles were waged. Dramatic scenery, castles, historic
churches nestled amongst wild flowers, sleepy villages: these are all integral parts of walking in the UK.

If you are planning on walking in the UK there are a number of classic trails for you to choose from all of them unique and different in their own way. One of the most famous of these is the Pennine Way a trail that runs the length of the mountain chain that forms the spine of England. This trail passes through some of the loneliest and loveliest high walking terrain in England.

Another major trail for long distance walking in the UK is the Coast to Coast walk. This trail starts on the Irish Sea coast of Cumbria near the huge red sandstone cliffs of St. Bees Head, crosses three National Parks before reaching the North Sea at the pretty fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay on the rocky coastline of the North York Moors.

Other long distance trails that provide wonderful opportunities for the best of walking in the UK include the Cotswolds Way, an entrancing mixture of historic places, parkland, cultivated fields with dry-stone walls, and patches of unspoilt woodland, in the Yorkshire Dales, the Dales Way and Herriot Way with their picturesque villages and hamlets and idyllic pastoral landscape of green valleys, and the in the Lake District, England's most rugged and mountainous landscape celebrated by the poetry of Wordsworth and more recently by Beatrix Potter, you can walk the Cumbria Way.
