Spring walks UK: Six of the best spring hikes including the Scottish Highlands, Hadrian’s Wall Path and more

With the weather improving, and with a bank holiday on the horizon, it might be the perfect time for a spring walk. If you’re stuck over where to go then you’re in luck, as outdoor experts from Blacks have revealed the six best spring hikes in the UK.

As well as revealing six of the best spring hikes in the UK, the experts also warn to choose a walk that matches your fitness level and experience, and to prepare for the conditions you might encounter along the way.

Adam Warrington, Content Executive at Blacks says: “My number one rule for going on remote walks is to make sure you know when sunset is, as well as letting someone know where you are walking and when you will be back. In particular, make sure you have warm footwear, gloves and a hat. Take a warm drink and some food with you when hiking in spring.”

The trails cover most of the UK, including the Scottish Highlands, the Midlands, South West England, Gloucestershire and Northern England too. Here’s the six best spring hikes in the UK.

Hadrian’s Wall Path, Northern England

Spanning 84 miles, it follows the ancient Roman wall that once marked the northern frontier of the Roman Empire. It offers breathtaking views of the Northumberland countryside including famous landmarks such as the Roman forts.

South West Coast Path, South West England

Lasting a staggering 630-miles, it follows the entire coastline of the South West peninsula featuring things only the coast can provide including dramatic sea views, rugged cliffs, and sandy beaches.
