Hiking in the United Kingdom means big contrasts in a compact space: the Scottish Highlands on the West Highland Way, the lake-and-fell country of Cumbria on the Coast to Coast Walk, the ridgelines of Snowdonia in Wales, and the moorland miles of Dartmoor in Devon. From Norfolk’s open broads to the cliffs and coves of the England Coast Path, the UK rewards hikers who want variety without compromise.
