Walking holidays in England have always been popular and this has only increased over the past couple of years. After the Second World War, rural preservation became an increasingly important issue in England as a part of the demand for a 'better Britain'. This need to preserve the British countryside led to the establishment of Long Distance Routes, also known as National Trails.

There are many different walking holidays to choose from if you wish to discover the beautiful outdoors of the English countryside. Depending on how you prefer your hiking experience to be you can decide which one of the many long distance routes would suit you best.

The Hadrians Wall Walk, a National Trail stretching from coast to coast across Northern England, is the perfect destination for those wishing to explore the history and beauty of the English countryside. However, this long distance path is not only perfect for the historian, but it is a breathtaking walk for anyone who is keen on walking in England.

Depending on your preferences and aspirations, the Hadrians Wall Walk can be an entirely different experience. Some may wish to spend only four days to complete the walk, while others will take two or even three weeks to finish. Many consider it to be the ultimate challenge to complete the path in only three or four days. Although walking is generally easy since the path is mostly rather flat, finishing the trail in this short time limit is generally only recommended for experienced long-distance walkers.

Others, on the other hand, wish to spend more time exploring the unique landscape and the rich variety of history. The stunning scenery and quiet atmosphere is another reason why many people decide to do the Hadrians Wall Walk. This is especially effective during the winter holiday season. Winter walking holidays in England have proven to be the perfect cure for people suffering from winter blues. At this time of the year, the walk is not only popular because of it will increase your fitness levels, but more for its positive effect on the wellbeing and happiness of those who take part.

If you want to explore the beautiful countryside that England has to offer, there are a wide range of walking holidays available in England all throughout the year. The Hadrians Wall Walk is the perfect destination for those who are looking to experience the magic of the England during the Christmas holidays.
