Dalby Forest North Yorkshire
Tucked away at the southeastern tip of North York Moors National Park is the vast and magical Dalby Forest. Carefully managed by Forestry England, the forest boasts spectacular wildlife, ancient rock formations and endless trails and is the perfect place to reconnect with the senses.
Pen y Fan Brecon Beacons
At 2907 feet, Pen y Fan is the highest point in Britain south of Snowdonia, and is the centrepiece of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Its summit is a wedge of terraced sandstone carpeted in emerald green, and its range of approach routes make it an irresistible presence on anyone’s bucket list.
Cat Bells The Lake District
Cat Bells’ gorgeous form and easy access make it the Lakes’ most beloved mountain-in-miniature. Cat Bells is a marriage of shapeliness and splendour, offering just enough challenge to enthral the entire family and rewarding you with a summit panorama that’s up there with the best in Lakeland.
Chipping Campden The Cotswolds
Thanks to their sweetly rolling hills, clear field paths, delicate wildflower meadows and achingly pretty villages, the Cotswolds are a perfect place to discover your outdoor legs. Here’s a loop that shows this landscape at its very best, from stately Hidcote Manor to the warm welcome at the Ebrington Arms.
T he Old Man of S toer Highland
In northwest Scotland lies the Assynt, a moorland region peppered with steepsided mountains and fringed by rugged coastline. The Old Man of Stoer is an extraordinary feature: a 60m stack of Torridonian stone standing alone just offshore, and surprisingly easy to get to, making it a popular hiking destination.
