What better way to stave off midwinter gloom than by planning your next walking adventure? We've teamed up with a range of walking holiday specialists to fill this travel e-guide with inspiration and information to help you make the right choice. Whether you're looking for a short rambling break or a once-in-a-lifetime epic trek, you'll find these pages packed with ideas for destinations best explored on foot. Discover hiking holidays in the UK and overseas, for solo travellers, couples and groups, at prices to suit all budgets. One of the beauties of a digital guide is that if you spot something that takes your fancy, you can simply click on the links to find out more.

We've also included our celebration of Britain's beautiful national parks, 75 years after the Act of Parliament that led to their creation, plus our top ten cosy pub walks.

And enjoy our winter Ramblers Routes – a taster of over 4,000 walks in the Ramblers' online routes library, so wherever you travel in England, Scotland or Wales, you can find a great walk when you get there. We've even added advice for packing your holiday rucksack. 

Wherever you decide to go walking this year, I hope you have a wonderful time. Why not send us an e-postcard on Facebook, Instagram or to the Walk magazine letters page while you're there?

Happy holidays!
