Explore the Regions ↓Welcome to Tony's Walks — a personal, first-hand guide to some of the finest walking country in the United Kingdom and Ireland. From the wild ridgelines of the Scottish Highlands and the remote moorlands of the Cheviots, to the limestone valleys of the Yorkshire Dales, the sea-cliff paths of Pembrokeshire, and the quiet footpaths around my home village of Bishops Tachbrook in Warwickshire — this site is built on years of boots-on-the-ground experience, with routes written for real walkers by a real walker.
Every walk on this site includes a full GPS track recorded by Tony on the day. Here's how to get the most out of them:
All GPS tracks are Tony's actual recorded routes — what you follow is exactly what was walked on the day.

From the soaring Munros of the Western Highlands and the vast Cairngorm plateau to peaceful lochside paths and ancient drove roads through glens that have changed little in centuries. Scotland offers some of the most dramatic and rewarding walking on earth — and some of the most demanding weather to go with it.
Browse Scotland walks →Rugged Atlantic sea cliffs, vast blanket boglands, rolling green hills and ancient pilgrim paths — Ireland and Northern Ireland offer walking of extraordinary variety and atmosphere. From the wild Dingle Peninsula and the Wicklow Mountains to the Giant's Causeway and the Mourne Mountains, this is a landscape steeped in myth and natural beauty.
Browse Ireland walks →One of England's most remote and least-visited upland areas, the Cheviot Hills straddle the Anglo-Scottish border in Northumberland National Park. Expect long, pathless ridge walks across rounded, peaty summits, vast skies, curlew calls, and an almost complete absence of other walkers — the perfect antidote to the crowded trails elsewhere.
Browse Cheviot walks →England's last great wilderness — the Northern Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty stretches from the South Tyne Valley to the Stainmore Gap, encompassing the lonely plateau of Cross Fell, England's highest point outside the Lakes, the spectacular waterfalls of Teesdale, and the wide, windy moorlands of Weardale and Allendale.
Browse Northern Pennine walks →England's most beloved walking country, the Lake District National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site offers everything from gentle lakeside ambles and wooded valley paths to the demanding ridge walks and rocky scrambles immortalised by Alfred Wainwright in his celebrated Pictorial Guides. Routes for every level of walker, in scenery that never disappoints.
Browse Lake District walks →Limestone pavements, dry-stone walls, tumbling waterfalls, and traditional Dales villages set beneath great rounded fells — the Yorkshire Dales National Park is walking country of the finest order. The neighbouring Howgill Fells, smooth and steep-sided, offer a quieter contrast with magnificent ridge walks and sweeping views across to the Lake District and the Pennines.
Browse Yorkshire Dales walks →Britain's first National Park divides neatly into two contrasting characters: the dramatic Dark Peak of gritstone edges, peat moorlands, and high plateaus in the north, and the gentler White Peak of limestone dales, clear rivers, and medieval market towns in the south. Together they offer an extraordinary range of walking within easy reach of several major cities.
Browse Peak District walks →The mountains of Eryri are the highest in England and Wales, and they carry themselves with appropriate grandeur — dramatic, complex, and demanding of respect in all seasons. Beyond the famous Snowdon summit routes, the national park holds quieter treasures: the Rhinogydd's ancient trackways, the Moelwynion's slate landscapes, and the tranquil Llyn Peninsula walking its western edge.
Browse Snowdonia walks →The Brecon Beacons National Park ranges from the sandstone ridges of the Black Mountains on the English border to the wild Carmarthen Fans in the west. Beyond the Beacons, East Wales offers the hidden splendours of the Berwyn Range — remote, boggy, and magnificent — and the elegant limestone ridge of the Clwydian Range with its chain of Iron Age hillforts.
Browse Brecon & East Wales walks →Often overlooked in favour of the more dramatic uplands, the English Midlands reward the patient walker with a rich tapestry of canal towpaths, ancient woodland, rolling farmland, and historic market towns. From the Malvern Hills' long ridge to the Shropshire hills' volcanic summits and the quiet lanes of Herefordshire, there is far more fine walking here than is commonly supposed.
Browse Midlands walks →England's south-western peninsula offers some of the most spectacular coastal walking in Europe, along cliffs, coves, estuaries, and headlands carved by the full force of the Atlantic. Inland, Dartmoor's ancient granite tors and sweeping moorland provide superb open walking, while the gentler lanes and wooded valleys of Devon's countryside offer something entirely different again.
Browse Devon & Cornwall walks →Shakespeare's County is a place of quiet, unhurried beauty — rolling farmland, ancient hedgerows, meandering rivers, and charming villages of honey-coloured stone and black-and-white timber framing. The walks around my home village of Bishops Tachbrook are a particular pleasure: accessible, varied, and a wonderful introduction to the gentle but deeply satisfying walking that Warwickshire has to offer.
