Walking Routes and Wales Walks

Walking Routes and Wales Walks

North Wales

North Wales is a favourite among walkers, and it’s easy to see why with such beautiful Wales walks.

This part of Wales is home to Snowdonia National Park which boasts almost 840 square miles of mountains, lakes and beautifully diverse walking terrain. There’s also Anglesey, Wales’ largest island featuring an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and let’s not forget about some of the best coastal walking in the country along the North Wales Coast walking routes.

There’s also an abundance of gentle strolls and more challenging, steeper climbs to be found in the North Wales borderlands.

Snowdonia Mountains and Coast

The Snowdonia National Park contains some of the most dazzling mountain scenery in the uk. With their reputation for rough rocky outcrops, vertiginously sheer cliffs and scooped glacial cwms, the mountains have shaped the livelihood of the people who’ve lived here.

When walking in this area we advise that you take a compass and be prepared for sudden changes in weather. And remember there will be limited mobile phone coverage!

Only a short distance away from this spectacular land of mountains you can discover breathtaking coastline. The Llyn Coastal Footpath provides you golden opportunity to experience the coastal landscape by following this winding route. There are small coves and wide expanses of sand, rugged cliffs and small harbours waiting to be discovered.

Llyn Peninsula

Morning on the Llyn Peninsula is spectacular. Almost anywhere you stay, the sea is there when you open the curtains.

The pointy mountains are an extinct range of volcanoes and you’re never far from them. Families with children come here because you can pretty much count on being able to go walking from your front door. You don’t have to travel far, and if you did want to travel, to Portmeirion, say, or to Caernarfon for the shops and castle, Llyn’s a small place and the journeys are short. You can feel cut off without actually being cut off.

Llyn’s popular beaches offer some of the best surfing in the whole of Wales. And there are also big, quiet stretches of sand like Porth Oer, known as Whistling Sands because the dry sand squeaks as you walk on it.
Mid Wales

Mid Wales is reserved especially for you. No crowds, no hassle, no pressure.

You have the choice between a scenic coastline with award winning beaches or entering the gentle heartland where the scenery is spectacular. Wherever you decide, the roads will be quiet and the vibrant towns will welcome you with open arms.
South Wales

Go West or Go East?

South West Wales is made up of the beautiful moors, rolling hills, beaches and cliff tops of Swansea Bay, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire – home to the UK’s only coastal national park and Wales’ longest national trail.

Travelling East across South Wales you will find trails through deep valleys, Welsh waterfalls and hilltops, along canals and rivers and the first coastline in Wales to be awarded Heritage Coast protection.

Free UK Walking Routes – Epping Forest

Free UK Walking Routes – Epping Forest

Epping Woodland was originally reserved like a royal hunting ground. That’s the hunting ground for royalty to hunt, not to really hunt the royals!

If you don’t zig zag around the actual forest, it is quite a stretch to obtain more than a 2 hour walk from the forest unless you adhere to the The Epping Forest Method which starts in Loughton as well as heads straight upwards in order to Hatfield, covering a great 25 miles.

Free UK Walking Routes

Most tend to be short walks, mostly around an hour or 2 in duration and therefore are designed for non-specialist strollers instead of for purposeful and skilled ramblers, but well fitting footwear continues to be called for. A walking pole is advantageous for beating down the actual odd bramble, or to help anyone a bit unsteady, although not essential. If you are heading into the forest glades then a few decent walking gear is actually recommended as getting tagged by brambles is really a distinct possibility.

Queen Elizabeth I accustomed to hunt there, hence the actual aptly named Queen At the I Hunting Lodge, that is now a museum focused on the forest. However, it’s histroy goes back much further than that using the remains of a Roman negotiation at Loughton Camp. On many occasions I’ve spotted fallow and small muntjac deers in all areas of the forest. Muntjac Deers are associated with the dark fallow deer as well as were introduced by Wayne I in 1612. Nevertheless, they have since be a pest of the farmers in the region.

Queen Victoria once stated “It gives me the best satisfaction to dedicate this beautiful forest towards the use and enjoyment of my people for those time” as she rode within an open carriage from Connaught Drinking water along Fairmead Bottom to High Beach towards the jubilant crowds. At the actual Epping Forest Conservation Center, a trail leads you with an ancient landscape of coppiced as well as pollarded trees, identifiable through their massive crowns.

Within local history, it was the chance the Forest gave with regard to grazing animals and delivering fuel that gave Loughton the actual kernel of its economy for perhaps a lot of years. Epping Forest never been enclosed or grown, but it has already been managed by man all through its written history. Because Norman times, it is a wood pasture which is basically the maintenance of a place for the twin reasons of providing timber as well as grazing, and implies a combination of grassland and treed places.

Initially, there were far more open grassy regions of the forest but during the last 100 years there is a great decline in grazing. In conjunction with the cessation of pollarding implies that the forest has become a lot more dense, cutting off the gentle below the trees which enabled the growth of numerous species, particularly of crazy flowers, that the Victorians noticed as common, but that are now rare or extinct within our Forest.
