Some of the most popular walking destinations are in Spain, Scotland, and England. In Spain the two most popular walking areas are the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago, and the area around Andalucía in southern Spain. The Camino far outstrips any other destination with more than 100,000 people walking along the most popular of these routes each year. Spain’s big advantage over many other destinations is that you can walk here almost all year round.

In Scotland the two most walked routes are the West Highland Way and the Great Glen Way. The West Highland Way is the most popular and the longest walking trail in Scotland at 132 miles. The route starts just outside of Glasgow and leads the hiker into the highland of Scotland finished in Fort William at the foot of Ben Nevis. During the winter much of this route is impassable and without using a walking company it can be almost impossible to find good accommodation during May and June, the busiest months.

The Coast to Coast and Hadrian’s Wall path are two of the most popular English walking routes. Hadrian’s Wall is just that a wall built 2000 years ago by the Romans and still in existence today. It is an incredible thought to walk along with the Romans on paths they built to defend their empire against the Scots so long ago.
