Russ Claridge reviewed Saint Cuthbert's Way Walking Trail in Scotland, United Kingdom

"This is one of the prettiest walks in Scotland, and it’s got a proper historical story to it, which is something that really adds to a trip in my mind. The walk basically follows the life and times of St. Cuthbert a 7th Century Scottish saint, who start…"

Russ Claridge reviewed Walking the Two Moors Way in Plymouth, United Kingdom

This is a fantastic walk that takes you all the way across the two moors National Parks, it’s got beautiful views and acres of open fields edged by private valleys thick with trees and undergrowth. It’s really clearly marked between Ivybridge, near the …"

Russ Claridge reviewed The Tarka Walking Trail in West Country, United Kingdom

This walk through Devon is a figure of eight shape based around the Rivers Taw and Torridge of the film “Tarka the Otter” fame. The trail has been recently upgraded and there are now graded tracks good for cyclists and mp3 audio information points along…"

Russ Claridge reviewed GR20 Walking Trail in Corsica, France

Walk Corsica for the GR20. At 200kms over two weeks it’s one Europe’s toughest mountain treks, not because of the terrain but because the weather can turn on you suddenly and there aren’t many points where you can walk out safely. The tricky legs are al…"

Russ Claridge reviewed The Pilgrims walk to Santiago de Compostela in Santiago de Compostela, Spain

This is a shorter version of the ancient 5 week Camino Frances or the “French Way” to Galicia. My journey joins the trail at Ponferrada, to the east of Santiago. There are traditional pilgrims’ markings and tracks to follow across the Galician hills, a…"

Russ Claridge reviewed The Alpine Pass Hiking Route in Switzerland

This is a classic hike through the Swiss Alps, called The Alpine Pass Route because it crosses 16 mountain passes. If you’re fit you can do it all at once, otherwise you can do it section by section. If you do choose to do only part of the walk the bes…"

Russ Claridge reviewed Walking the Isle of Skye in Scotland, United Kingdom

There are lots of good walking trails on the Isle of Skye, so I feel it should be included as a good place to walk but it’s probably best to plan your own trip depending on the number of days you want to walk and what you want to see. There are lots of …"

Russ Claridge reviewed Walk the Rob Roy Way in Scotland, United Kingdom

This is another historic walk, based in the area of Scotland travelled by the slightly notorious Rob Roy MacGregor in the 18th Century. As well as the ruins, lochs, waterfalls and mountains that create the unique scenery of the Scottish highlands, the t…"

Russ Claridge reviewed The Dingle Way Walk in Southwest Ireland, Ireland

This walk takes an average of eight days to circuit Ireland's scenic Dingle Peninsula. It's another walk improved by the opportunity for a hot meal, a pint and a warm bed at the end of each day. I've been able to book ahead one night at a time on the r…"

Russ Claridge reviewed Walk the South Downs Way in Eastbourne, United Kingdom

This walk is actually best done from Winchester to Eastbourne, but you can do it either way, you can also cycle it. The trail follows prehistoric pathways towards the then capital Winchester and there are Bronze Age barrows all along the trail. It's 1…"

Russ Claridge reviewed Hadrian's Wall Walking Trail in North East England, United Kingdom

This trail was opened in 2003 as a World Heritage Site and it follows the wall quite closely. Walkers pass through Medieval Hexham, which was once a big local market town, the ancient Roman forts of Vindolanda, Segedunum and Birdoswald. Hadrian’s Wall …"

Russ Claridge reviewed Walk the South Coast Path in West Country, United Kingdom

This is thought by many to be one of the best long distance trails in Europe, and rightly so, it covers some stunning country, including the Exmoor National Park and some of the most scenic parts of the British coastline. It incorporates The Jurassic Co…"

Russ Claridge reviewed Walking the Pennine Way in North West England, United Kingdom

This is a well known walk which starts in Edale and finishes in Kirk Yetholm, crossing moors, national parks and the Scottish border in the process. It follows in part Hadrian's Wall, which is a bonus if you're walking with history buffs, who will also …"

Russ Claridge reviewed The Beacons Way Walking Trail in Wales, United Kingdom

This is a fairly new long distance trail comprising several smaller walks. The first day of this eight day trip inspires with a visit to Skirrid Mountain (Ysgyrd Fawr) or The Holy Mountain and the trail finishes in the little town of Bethlehem near Garn…"
