What's inside?
Walking routes
Every issue of Walk includes eight Ramblers Routes from across England, Scotland and Wales. These step-by-step mapped guides are developed by experts who know the best spots for the best walks. Each one includes essential info about travel, eateries and places to stay, and the accompanying GPS guides – available from our website or app – will keep you on track.
Inspiration
Whatever you want from your next adventure, you’ll find it in the pages of Walk. Our Big Walk and Destination articles showcase the best hiking holidays in the UK and overseas. Get the lowdown on a local area with our Discover and The View from Here guides. And explore terrific seasonal trails in our regular Ten Places feature.
Interviews
In our Walk + Talk and My Perfect Day celebrity interviews, we sit down with some of Britain’s best-known walking enthusiasts such as comedian and Strictly winner Bill Bailey, sports broadcaster Clare Balding and living legend David Attenborough. Who’ll be next? Plus, we share inspirational and uplifting real-life stories in our must-read My Walk of Life features.
