Walking In Northern England provides walking ideas and Ordnance Survey map routes to view and furnish you with inspirational ideas for your next walking outing in this area of stunning scenic value and fascinating historical interest.
Walking In Northern England offers a guided walk service for the day walks and wild camps on the website. Your guide will provide information along the route on subjects such as natural history, local heritage, geology and the surrounding countryside. Please use the link above to send your enquiries about this service.
Ordnance Survey maps may be viewed free of charge, while the GPX Route File, PDF Route Card & Route Description and Google Earth File are available in the subscribers' section.
The GPX file format is used for transferring GPS data between different software packages, the Web and GPS receivers and is compatible with the majority of applications and units. If you are having trouble getting yours to open, GPS Utility (see link below) converts GPX files to most formats.
There are a number of long-distance, multi-day walks in the north of England and a specific page is dedicated to these routes (see link above). Where details are not currently available on Walking In Northern England, you will be redirected to the relevant information page.
There are some wild camps on the website, but you are encouraged to undertake these ONLY with the utmost consideration for the environment and follow the principles of Leave No Trace.
The walks are graded as easy, moderate or challenging depending upon a combination of factors such as terrain, distance and total ascent/descent. Ability, experience, group size and ages should be bourne in mind when selecting your walk, using these categories for guidance.
Routes are constantly being added, so keep checking back for new walking ideas.
It is STRONGLY advised that the relevant maps accompany you on ALL your walks and we recommend using the 1:25000 Explorer Active Map series available from Dash4it with an extra 5% discount by using the banner link at the top of this page, or use the map picture link on the individual walks to be taken directly to the relevant page.
