If you could only do one walk.

Anywhere by the coast, preferably not too hilly.

The coastal path from Brancaster to Burnham Overy Beach, much of it on raised duck boards. It’s only around 6 miles but a stop at The Crab Hut at Brancaster Staithe for refreshments en route is a must as is one at The Jolly Sailors for pizza and a pint on the way back. The marshes are full of wild flowers, birds and butterflies and the views are lovely. Wish I was there now and it was Summer again!

To clarify it’s around 6 miles each way so 12 in total.

Years ago, my late husband and I walked around Bosherston Pools in Pembrokeshire, stopping for a coffee at the little cafe at the start.
The walk over the cliffs from Solva to Carfai bay was a favourite too.
It was so peaceful and so beautiful and I would give a lot to be able to do them again.

We walked round there too, many years ago now, Crossstitchfan.

I don’t like heights, especially steep paths with loose footing, I’m so scared of falling. My favourite walks would all be on flat, empty Norfolk beaches.

Bosherton isn’t to far from us. Utterly beautiful when the water lilies are out .

The walk DH and I used to do every morning in Sandwich when he was alive. A gorgeous little medieval town, and all my memories of DH.

From the Bannau Brycheinog (Brecon Beacons) visitors centre at Libanus up Twyn Y Gaer, the most spectacular view of Pen Y Fan that always stuns me. I want my ashes scattered across the Common when my time comes.
I will never tire of tat view.

Pembrokeshire coast path

Across the South Beach at Tenby towards Giltar Point with a beautiful view of Caldey Island across the water. Bliss....it lifts my spirits every time whatever the weather...my breath caught in my throat recently when I realised I had less time ahead of me than behind to walk this special beach.

I second Naughtyneine's walk in Tenby. Know it well. Also anywhere in the Wye Valley.

The Silver Jubilee Walk in London. I think it’s now just called the Jubilee Walk.
We walked this soon after it opened in 1977, taking a day to do the full walk following the silver markers set in the pavements.
I was 20 then and my DH 24, we were laughing about it the other day as I doubt now we could do 2 miles let alone 15, me with my arthritic knees and hip, and him with his dodgy back!

We did walk part of it again about 15 years ago before we moved away from the SouthEast.
The areas it goes through have changed a lot over the years, there was no new Globe Theatre,no London Eye for example, I think I preferred it when we first walked it, less touristy and built up.

Walking along the river at Durham city.

We walked some of the Pembrokeshire coast near st David’s last year and while in Wales visited Tenby which ticked off one of the places I have wanted to visit,
The cathedral stunned us in its beautiful location. We had a lovely week.

The walk from Papcastle down into Cockermouth, in the Lake District. My favourite village to my favourite town.

The Seven Bridges walk at Fountains Abbey is my favourite local walk. When in the Lakes I also love Elterwater (mentioned by a previous poster). Anywhere near water is lovely

One of our favourite walks too.
We also love the Mosaic trail but there’s a lot of cattle!
It staters on Dallowgill Moor so during shoot season it’s a bit noisy.

Oh wow, you're in the Lake District!! Lucky you. We've been going for many years and love it. Our 'go to' walk is from Ambleside to Grasmere alongside Rydal Water and Grasmere. There are several parallel routes ranging from steep to easy, depending on how you're feeling. You can return on the opposite side (the Coffin Trail) via Rydal Hall (a coffee/tea stop) or catch the bus.

Another lovely one is the old railway path from Keswick to Threlkeld - all off road and fairly flat. Again you can catch the bus one way or walk there and back - there's a lovely little cafe at Threlkeld and a pub.

Up striding edge to Helvellyn in january, with an ice axe in my hand and crampons on my feet, sigh, a sweet memory from 1968. I think I could still do it but only in my dreams

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has chosen a London walk. I’d happily walk the streets and parks of London for hours with stops for people watching of course! The alternative would be the Leas at Folkestone or any other seaside promenade.

I'm another fan of the Seven Bridges Walk at Fountains Abbey.

I also enjoy the walks in Upper Teesdale, around High Force.

Probably the length of the Malvern hills from British Camp to ?West Hill - it's walkable & a sense of achievement to do it from end to end. Views all the way and lovely walking. I love the contrast between the civilized landscape of the Severn plain on the east, looking towards the Cotswolds, and the much more hummocky welsh border country on the west, looking towards the Black Mountains. Not one for a windy day, though!

And me. From the car park at British Camp over the hills to The Wyche and back. North Hill on the same day is beyond us now.

From Broadway, Gloucestershire climbing up Dover's Hill to the tower. There are magnificent views and an excellent coffee shop. After that, you can walk back down via various routes.

We have done the Coffin Trail many times.
We always do the detour to “The Grot” in Rydal Hall gardens.
It’s wonderful when we have friends who have never been, the surprise when they walk in and see the view is always a delight.
Here’s a link for anyone not in the know.
