Walking and Climbing
Walking routes trace many of Britain's wilder areas, amid landscapes varied enough to suit anyone. More sedate walkers will be happy enough in England, where many of the footpaths traverse moorlands, but if you're after more demanding exercise, or a feeling of isolation, head for Wales or Scotland. Welsh Snowdonia and the Scottish Highlands offer Britain's best climbing and have acted as training grounds for some of the world's greatest mountaineers. Numerous short walks and several major walks are covered in the guide - however, you should use these notes only as general outlines and always in conjunction with a good map . Where possible we have given details of the best maps to use - in most cases one of the Ordnance Survey (OS) series - along with advice, leaflets and specialist guidebooks from tourist offices and shops in walking areas. In England and Wales you need to keep to established routes as you'll often be crossing private land, even within the National Parks: all OS maps mark public rights of way. Scotland, in contrast, has a tradition of free public access to most of the countryside, restricted only at certain times of the year. At the time of writing, some footpaths were closed as a precaution against the further spreading of the Foot and Mouth epidemic. For the latest on this situation, contact any local tourist office or one of the companies we've listed.
