I live close to the Peak District some of my favourites are: paddley gorge, chatsworth country estate, Linacre reservoir, monsal trail, curbar edge, hathersage stepping stones, Wyoming brook nature reserve 

My favourite hike has to be Liathach, near Torridon in Scotland. Such an impressive mountain! My husband and I love Scotland and the mountains are so big and adventurous!

The Camino de Santiago! 

Langsett Reservoir near Sheffield pine forest and moors lovely walk

Our favourite walk is around Hampstead Heath (also called London’s countryside!)

We love exploring and spending time around the hills and ponds with dogs and kids playing around. It is so beautiful that sometimes it feels like dreaming.

Thanks for the opportunity to participate and share our experience.

Locally to me I love walking through the nature reserve at the back of our estate. If I’m going further afield I could happily walk anywhere in the Lake district.

Loop through Wimbledon Common to Richmond Park and back again. Offers some tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of London life

Nuuksio national park just outside Helsinki. From all the picturesque lakes you see of Canada I just tell people that Nuuksio is Europe’s Canada after that trip

To park up at Wilford bridge car and walk along the river Deben, to look out over the countryside on the other side of the river, admire all the wild life along the banks, wander past the boat yards with an array of boats big and small old and new, sit and have a cuppa on the old navy boat, wander into Woodbridge past the Tide Mill and around the key stopping off to see a wooden boat being constructed in the Longshed museum, take a look at the varying array of house boats in the marina, thinking which one would I like, and do I really want to empty the poo every other day. Time to turn around get an ice cream and sit at the quay next to the Tide mill and admire the views.

Favourite walk is the South Downs Way :)

The best walk I did was to reach the top of Ano Syros the old town of Syros in the Greek islands. 

The view and the food and the music all together was awesome!

Walk from Wellow to Stoney Littleton Long Barrow, a 5500 year old Neolithic burial mound you can crawl inside and see the burial chambers. Incredible. Followed by a walk back along the stream and a pub lunch. Bliss. 

Favourite walk/hike: Gigondas in the Vaucluse department of France. Start at the car park then through the pretty village and, just by the school, instead of taking a left to follow the road, keep straight on and follow the path through the back of the St Cosme winery and onto the road/track leading up to the Dentelles de Montmirail, a jagged rock formation that comes out of the hill like a set of teeth from your worst nightmares. Once you get to the foot of these, you can either climb up the side of the hill and walk along the Dentelles (rock climber heaven) or follow the path round back towards the village , enjoying fantastic views either way. After half a kilometre or so, there is a small hill on the right with a lookout spot at the top. Immediately past that is a rough track down the wooded hillside (or you can follow the path round) and from there, follow the track round, first to the right, then to the left to join a rarely used road overlooking Gigondas, then back into the village. Before returning to your car, visit one of the several wineries or the Caveau, taste a couple of excellent wines and buy some to enjoy at home later. The whole walk is around 3.5 miles and takes a little over an hour plus stops to rest and/or enjoy the spectacular views.

The Wirral Way and Bidston Hill, an ancient route and a disused mill, one side Liverpool, the other is Wales, views like this are off all scales.    

Definitely the 5 peaks of the Pentland Hills with my friends 

My favourite walk:

leave the house via the front door @ 17:30 on a Friday, walk 800 metres in west north west direction, threading between the parked cars to a narrow snickelway that leads to the inner ring road. Waiting at the pedestrian crossing marvel at the medieval sandstone walls that surround York as they bask in the afternoon sunlight and glow like with an inner warmth that reminds me of a hob nob biscuit.
 

Upon crossing head due north 100 metres with the walls on your left, magnificent and reassuringly secure, full of untold history, until you reach the old gate or “bar” with its splendid city heraldry above the centre arch. Turn left through the walls, notice their construction, huge stones, several metres wide at the base, see the steep staircase to the top of the walls, its steep steps worn smooth by a million feet, and carry on past 15 more metres to the pub door.

“A pint of landlord and a bag of pork scratchings for me please”

South Downs:

Start and finish at the "Fox goes Free" pub in Charlton, W. Sussex. A footpath takes one up to the Goodwood Race course, then one follows around the course, you can keep off the road with footpaths and walking through the carparks, then one crosses the road beyond the Grandstands and walk-up to the Trundle for wonderful views over the South Downs and Chichester Harbour + Isle of Wight,on a clear day!. Then walk down by the Trundle Car Park and follow the path to Singleton, then through the village, past the School up hill to the Levin Down Nature Reserve and then back down to Charlton and the pub one started at. You can shorten the walk by taking the footpath direct from Singleton to Charlton through the meadows.

So many options, but I'll say the Cuckmere Pilgrim Path.

My favourite hike is around Bestwood park in Nottingham. Lovely woods and paths on a reclaimed coal mine.

It’s hard to choose just one, so I’ll cheat a little and share my two all-time favourites, each unforgettable in its own way.

The first is Helvellyn via Striding Edge in the Lake District. It’s dramatic, exposed, and breath-taking from start to finish. Reaching the summit after scrambling across the ridge feels like conquering a wild and ancient place and the views are simply unbeatable (weather permitting!).

The second is the 5-Lake Hike in Zermatt, Switzerland. There’s something magical about following a trail where each lake reflects the Matterhorn like a postcard come to life. It's peaceful, scenic and pure alpine bliss.

I’d love to share a few photos from both, each one brings those memories back to life. If there’s a way to upload them, just let me know!

In our summer holidays last year we visited Scotland’s Cairngorms and walked up a mountain together.  We could see for miles and watched the weather change below us and saw rainbows forming.  It was a very tiring but satisfying afternoon together.

Running 100miles  Bamburgh Castle to Edinburgh Castle loved the views and the challenge.

Curbar gap in the peak district is a gorgeous gentle walk.

I love walking around Foxes Forest at Hilsea in Portsmouth with my dog and family, there are ponds with fish, swans and ducks which are fed by people all year round, the area is currently being modified due to rising water levels but is still lovely, there are also bat boxes and a woodland awareness area for children.

The walk from Purfleet along banks of the Thames estuary to Grays. It's got an amazing mix of industrial and post industrial mixed with nature. And you usually see ships and the M25 QE2 bridge from an interesting angle!
