Winter gives landscapes an interesting charm: it may be the stillness of a lake or the wild coast. Our readers share their Favourite routes to get one’s soul invigorated and provide a refreshing getaway. Here are some trails not to miss:
A Glance at Serenity in Lake District
Start at a forest climb with Tom Gill’s waterfalls to Tarn How’s. This two-hour walk reveals a peaceful plateau, where the mirror-like tarn reflects snow-capped peaks, bare larch trees, and lush conifer islands. A retreat into nature in a truly breathtaking way.
Art and Verse in the Chilterns
Panoramic views of five counties can be seen from the Ridgeway near Whitehead Cross in the Chiltern Hills on clear days. Follow the trails through beech woodlands to the Pink and Lily pub, once a haunt of poet Rupert Brooke. A hearty meal and a pint here make for a fitting end to this poetic adventure.
A Walk Above the River in Wales
The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is often called the “river in the sky,” and this route provides a gentle stroll, with spectacular views. The Llangollen Canal towpath offers many delightful stops, not least a cabin that gives homemade treats and Baileys hot chocolate—a winner for a winter’s day.
Secret Gems in Peak District
A Restful Break: the Nab walk from Edale. The circular route of just less than a mile is to be savoured in lovely unbroken solitude. There are options to amble and a challenge to climb to Kinder Scout, for views no less restful and even spectacular taken the other way around.
Coastal Splendor, West Sussex
Shoreham Beach’s shingle shores are quite attractive during winter, especially when the waves break along the coast under brooding skies. A walk down the boardwalk leads to remnants of a Napoleonic fort, which brings back the olden days.
Highland Adventures with Beavers
Explore the Rothiemurchus Estate in Scotland, where the Beaver Trail winds through ancient forests to Lochan Moor and Loch an Eileen. Whether catching sight of reintroduced beavers or admiring castle ruins, this trail is a winter delight.
Mossy Enclaves Near Sheffield
Padley Gorge is a short, downhill walk through a mossy, sheltered landscape. End your journey at the Grindleford Station café for a warm chip butte before catching the train back to Sheffield—a perfect family-friendly outing.
Timeless Views in Donegal
Father Hegarty’s Walk in Donegal mixes some of the most scintillating coastal scenery with ancient allure. Walk the shoreline along Lough Swill and end the day beside the fire in the Drift Inn over a pint, all soothing to the mind, uplifting to the spirit. Hidden Oasis, Glasgow
A relatively unknown gem, Ross hall Park is ideal for short winter walks. Its carved grotto, frost-covered grasses, and a tucked-away boathouse make it all very enchanting for a hideaway from the world.
Golden Sands in Cornwall
This coastal path runs along the coastline from Porthtowan to Chapel Perth, where the golden stretches of beaches are merged with Cornwall’s mining history. Stop here at the coastal bench for an unparalleled view of the ocean or to watch surfers battle the waves.
These walks promise fairly a mix of experience ranges from reflection by tranquil waters to energizing climbs in historical and natural landscapes. Winter shall bring chillier weather and still reveal the world under a different light.
