Note: There is an error on the numbering of the hikes in the video, namely the Cape Wrath Trail, which should be numbered 2. To alter this would mean taking the video down and editing before re-uploading, thereby losing any comments and viewing statistics. I have therefore decided to leave it as it is.
Great video, thanks for posting. All of these are on my "to do" list when I return to the UK. I am currently living and working in Outer Mongolia. I'm searching youtube out here and planning future walks. St. Cuthbert's way looks like a good one. I am currently watching a series on the Wales Coastal path. My favourite ones I've seen so far are the Cape Wrath trail and the Pennine Way. I can't wait to retire in a few years time and attempt all these walks. I have exactly 40 long-distance walks planned and mapped out on GPS. Can't wait to get started! Best Wishes.
Thanks for uploading this. Have done several of these hikes and some others are on my to-do list (some as part of the Lejog I would someday like to complete). I find it hard to list them but Offa's Dyke path, the Pennine Way and the Coast-to-Coast are definitely among my favourites. Others that are not on this list but which I very much enjoyed were the Pennine Journey (the 3rd of the major Wainwright hikes, after Pennine Way and Coast-to-Coast) and the Two Moors Way.
Difficult to pick a favourite of the ones that I've done but St. Cuthbert's Way and the Cleveland Way are up there with the best. I wasn't so keen on the Ridgeway, the western section is wide rutted by-ways; surprisingly I preferred the eastern part through the Chilterns. As it's close I've walked the SDW twice, always good value. I think each walk has it's own characteristics and there are some good shorter trails. We didn't finish the Dales Way because of the weather but enjoyed what we did. Other good short trails are the Limestone Way (apart from the Staffordshire section) and the Coleridge Way.
I agree regardiing the Ridgeway, although I have an affection for it because it was the first trail I ever walked from end to end, albeit in sections. I also prefer the Chiltern end of the walk because when I lived in the UK, I lived near to the hills and have covered most of the area at some time or other and think they are beautiful Loved the SDW too. ATB.
My wife and I were a bit disappointed about the Ridgeway too. Probably not in the least because we did it straight after finishing the Two Moors Way. Still, after all these years, what is left about it are very nices memories about walking through the waving wheat and barley fields, resting under the trees in front of the church in Nuffield and passing over the grounds of Chequers, behind the security gate. But indeed these are all eastern part.
I have done the majority of my walking in Southern England and East Anglia and my 10 favourite walks in no particular order are:- South Downs Way, Greensand Way, Ridgeway, Stour Valley Way, Dales Way, South West Coast Path, Serpent Trail, Wayfarers Walk, Cleveland Way and Two Moors Way. Also recommended are High Weald Trail and Chiltern Way.
@@TheConstantHiker Yes, I would - a lovely walk. As well as the main route there is a northern extension, a southern extension and a Berkshire loop totaling in all around 220 miles. In my list above I should have made clear that I was referring to the Suffolk Stour Valley Way as there are paths with the same name in Kent (which I have walked) and Dorset (which I haven't walked).
I've replied to your comment twice now but for some reason it doesn't seem to be publishing. I have no plans to do the Welsh Coastal Path at the moment but would certainly consider it in the future. I have also always liked the sound of the Cambrian Way, ATB

Thanks for the wonderful tour. I'm very nostalgic for another hike in England now...
Thank you for watching 🙂

Thanks for your comments. Good luck with your 40 walks!
Lovely compilation, thank you for sharing 🤗🤗🤗

The Pennine Journey is definitely on my 'bucket list' having read Wainwright's book a couple of times. Thanks for watching.
Currently midway walking Cape Wrath which I will finish this June. Best trail I've ever done.
Thank you for your thoughts and the films you have produced. Good to get an insight and inspiration for what can be done. Cheers.
Thank you for your comments, they are much appreciated.
9/10 of these trails have made it onto my bucket list.
I'd be interested to know which one doesn't appeal to you ☺

When I lived in the UK, I walked a lot in the Chiltern Hills. I never did the Chiltern Way however. Would you recommend it?

What about the Cotswold Way , from Chippiing Campden to Bath -- it has a lovely ending as you walk straight into Bath Abbey.
Great video. Some ideas for my next hike.thks
Hi, thanks for watching 👍
Excellent video and can't disagree with your pick of the pops. Best of luck north from Carlisle in the spring👍
Thanks very much, glad you liked the video
Do you have the Welsh Coastal Path in your plans ??

Isle of Skye trail?
Never been to Skye but from the photos and videos I have seen of the trail it looks superb. 👍
@@TheConstantHiker I bet it would be in top 5
well I've only done 3 but Hadrians wall was my favourite
I've only done the short section of the wall on the Pennine Way, which I thought was quite tough with many steeps ascents and descents. Nice though!
The Constant Hiker yes it’s about 13 miles of that up & down, toughest part of whole trail
