Walking in the North of England

England's North Country is famous for the beauty of its scenery, perfect for a walking holiday. Here you will find the stunning lake and mountain scenery of the Lake District, the rich green valleys and dry-stone walls of the Yorkshire Dales, the rolling heather moorland of the North York Moors, and the craggy limestone dales and gritstone moors of the Peak District. There's boundless history, too, in the old Roman frontier of Hadrian's Wall and the golden beaches and imposing castles of Northumberland's unspoilt coastline.

While we offer plenty of holidays along such iconic trails as Hadrian's Wall Path, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk and the Pennine Way, the North of England has plenty more amazing walking trails to offer. Whether you're looking to conquer mountains, marvel at ancient architecture or discover breath-taking views that have inspired artists and writers for centuries, our selection of walks has something to suit everyone.
