The Peak District National Park has many great walks for all different abilities and tastes. Trig walks, reservoir walks, caves, the edges, etc. All providing incredible views! I haven’t done all the walks in the Peaks, not even half! But out of the ones I have done, this is certainly one of my favourites without …
This weekend, plans haven’t gone quite to plan, but it’s ok, as I’ve still had a lovely weekend! And for once, our change of plans was nothing to do with the wolf. To be fair on the wolf, he’s doing alright. He’s chilling quietly at the minute. Other than the rash on my finger, a …
If you are after a little walk, not too strenuous, not too many miles, but with spectacular views, then this is the one for you! A beautiful 3-mile walk starting and finishing in Lordstones’s Country Park, leading you high onto Cringle Moor. We did this walk in January on New Year’s Day, on a glorious …
The Yorkshire Wolds is full of beautiful scenery, rolling hills, dry valleys, and farmer’s fields. This particular walk is one of my favourite, especially on a clear day. You can see views for miles. Sadly, this time on our walk, we had a lot of thick fog and saw very little views. I ummed and …

The Torridon Hills is one beautiful area in the Scottish Highlands! It is known as one of the most scenic spots in the whole of the British Isles. Not only that, it is home to some of the oldest rocks in the world too. A place full of jaw-dropping scenery and history. If you are …
Knockan Crag is a lovely, little walk to do. Perfect if you are driving the NC 500, or any over road trips, and want to get out and stretch your legs. Or even no road trips and you just want a little walk to do, or the weather may not be too good to get …
Castle Varich (or some spell it as Castle Varrich), is located beside the beautiful village of Tongue, a stunning area on the north coast of Scotland. This 2-mile walk makes a great stop along the NC 500 to get out and stretch your legs. With the views as incredible as they are, you will not …
Catrigg Force is what I call a hidden gem! Tucked away in the south of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, it’s a must-visit. The walk starts and finishes in the beautiful town of Settle, leading you up above the valley, to a magical spot. If you are in the area, I recommend putting on your …
