This site is going to represent our knowledge of the United Kingdom. It is going to be an entirely arbitrary collection of material, connected only by the fact that one of our authors liked the area, took the photo, ate the meal or wrote the poem!
Our clickable map shows the areas we currently intend to cover - hover over the map to visit the sections that are already in place.
We have now opened our walks section, and now have a selection of seventy four walks in the North Pennines, Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Peak District, Yorkshire Wolds and Shropshire Hills.
We have now opened a Walking in Britain Blog where we will be announcing all of our updates.
A warm welcome to Richie Mais who has submitted a poem that we are delighted to include on this web site. Those who have walked in the Malham area of North Yorkshire will especially enjoy Richard’s powerful and evocative work: Malham Trod.
We also add our first story: Suitable for all ages, Presenting Pavlova introduces the reader to sheep characters of the North Pennines. Share in their lives and adventures. Feel their elation and determination. At times, note their sorrow. Pavlova will lead you gently into the natural landscape of hills, dales, scars and valleys.
