Whether you’re looking for a gentle woodland walk or go somewhere to go hiking in Yorkshire or even a leisurely stroll with stunning coastal views in Alnmouth – there are plenty of walking routes to choose from.

      Our experts have gathered a series of the best walking trails, to help you find the perfect route for you, all of which are easily accessible from our train stations across the north of England.

      Discover hidden gems like Meanwood Valley’s idyllic ponds and woodland, enjoy hiking in the mountains of Cumbria Way, and see Sherwood Forest’s thousand-year-old oak tree.
