Top 10 UK Hikes
Here are my top 10 hikes in the UK. For each I’ve ranked them based on views (assuming you’re lucky enough to get a clear day), difficulty (1= walk in the park to 10 = need hiking gear and a high level of fitness!) and facilities (car parking, toilets, cafe/pubs, signage, path maintenance etc)
