Families across the UK can look forward to a host of scenic walks this festive season, perfect for those who might not usually be keen on a winter stroll. Outdoor specialists at GardenBuildingsDirect have scoured the nation to pick out the top trails for a Christmas adventure.
Whether it's the gentle sand dunes in the south or an ancient abbey up north, there's a walk for every taste, from the enthusiastic hiker to those seeking a tranquil Boxing Day amble. Sharing their top eight walks, a spokesperson for GardenBuildingsDirect.co.uk said: "Getting out and enjoying the great outdoors on chilly, sunny days is a lovely way to spend time with family and friends and blow away the cobwebs.
"We’re lucky in the UK to have some very diverse and stunning landscapes we can enjoy and explore. There really is everything - from sandy beaches in the South West to the rugged landscapes in the Lake District. "And who knows, while you're enjoying the great outdoors, you may have a flash of inspiration and introduce elements of the landscapes you love into your garden design for 2025.".
Revealing the UK's best winter walks, they recommended Whitby Abbey in Yorkshire for its breathtaking coastal views. They advise visitors to meander through Whitby, take in the gothic splendour of the Abbey, ascend the famed 199 steps to its grounds for spectacular vistas, and then immerse themselves in the town itself on the return leg.
