England-The Land of the Hiking Travellers

England happens to one of the most visited holiday destinations. It is a land of natural walkways with moorland alleys to lowland wanders and of course man-made wonderful pathways and footpaths. England is literally full of walks, and all offer varied landscaping terrains and colourful experiences.

The Pennine Way is a greatest hiking pathway for all sports enthusiasts. The 267 mile pathway goes up to the central watershed of UK, starting from Edale to Kirk Yetholm. Its focal point is the wild scenery you come across your hiking way with lush landscapes and moorlands, they all contribute to a superb feast, for many a weary travellers. The knife-like edge of Pen-y-Ghent hill may make you jittery and the wondrous view all the way down Eden Valley is worth the hike. But the popularity of Pennine Way has seen some major disasters in the form of erosions and man-made rubbles. The UK authorities and government bodies have taken the precaution of installing safety boards and pavements in some particular areas. Although it spoils the natural beauty of the wild place, it is essential for the safety of the Way and its travellers.

There is Coast-to-Coast Path, which is dotted with scenic beauty and glimpse of serene mountains in the Lake District. This path starts from St. Bess on the coastal Atlantic to Robin Hood Bay. The Coast Path is made up of 192 miles, and crosses the Pennine Way and Northern moorlands. The nature is more pleasant and striking than the Pennine Way with a couple of cute little townships like Richmond.

South-West Coast Path offers the longest distance hikes for any traveller, at an unbelievable 630 miles. You may choose a singular section of the whole Path for a holiday hike or walk the full length of the Path, which is strenuous and time consuming. The walks are difficult with many a river-crossing and harsh cliff-sides, the strong high winds also may scare many a walker. But once you've crossed all perils, you will be amply rewarded with quaint little villages of fishermen and pre-historic panorama. Not to forget, the sandy beaches and friendly tidal waves. The way down has coastal segments, parallel to the white chalk cliffs known as Seven Sisters. The whiteness of the cliffs and opened skies amongst wondrous hills will charm any traveller in this route.

The Ridgeway trail is surrounded by many prehistoric mysteries and trackways. There are many a featured Chalky Landscapes and sites that date back to old medieval period. Not all the travellers prefer mountainous terrains; some may get attracted to the gentler Peddars Way. The Way runs alongside the eastern countryside of Anglian. The area is filled with numerous oak trees and abundant growth of hedgerows. The landscape is beautiful with all-round greenery. This path, on reaching the seaside turns towards east and the marshy land and stony beaches give way to high-end cliffs above the sea level. You may end up in Cromer valley Church Tower in Norfolk and shop for chips and fishes from local stores. There is really a lot to see and explore.

Having derived all essential knowledge about England's walk ways and hiking spots, that are relatively friendly and safe, you may challenge yourself with more difficult ways like the Icknield Way and the Wessex Ridgeway. You should be really brave and strong enough to walk the entire way from Northern Sea to the English Channel.

You would now be definitely charged up to be on the move. So are you already packing your backpacks and tuff shoes for that long walk ahead?
