My top 15 walking blogs (UK)
Yesterday, I was searching the web to find a useful list of walking bloggers based in the UK and I couldn’t find much to help apart from a couple of decent walking magazines.
So in order to help anyone else who is interested in rambling or hill walking, I thought I would create my own list. So here are my top 15 walking and rambling blogs written in the UK.
I created this list by reading and reviewing each site and have used my own personal preference. I have found that most good walking blogs focus on useful advice and tips for where and when to go. I also noticed that many contain some amazing photography that makes you want to get up from your computer and set off there and then.
Apologies if there is anyone I have missed off but please feel free to share your blog in the comments section if you think it will be of interest.

So: Mine’s a walking blog!
I had better start scribbling more beardy walking stuff straight away!
Ta for the mention Chris – but as Stef says, you will find some cracking walking blogs on my ‘Great Places to Visit’ section of my blog. -
Hi Guys, thanks for your comments. I spent a lot of time looking for the best – in my opinion – so you are all welcome. I thought it was worth sharing. Chris

Chris, thanks for including me on your list. Though often my blog is about anything but walking! I kind of use walking as a peg to hang other things on, if that makes sense.

No worries Vinny – I am glad you like it. I am thinking about writing a new list with some more additions to it as people seem to like this list.

Great information. I’ve been on all of those Blogs, some are excellent and i’ve added them to my own Blog.
I’m more into Moochings, so if you’re interested:-

Message *Chris, just reading through the comments and I noticed that I never thanked you for including my blog in your list. Thanks! (Belated).
And – Alan and I were both invited to Jersey on a bloggers junket, which was a fabulous opportunity. We are 2 and 3 on your list. Conincidence? Or down to the influence of this post? I don’t know, but I favour the latter theory. So – thanks again! -

Hi Mark thanks for that I really appreciate it. I just did some research many moons ago and it seems to have been picked up all over the place. I was speaking to someone the other day who said they found this list and couldn’t believe it was on my blog. I think the stuff you guys do on your blogs is great. I wish I had a past time have as interesting as yours. Currently, mine is kick boxing and bringing up my little boy. Thanks for all of the comments I really appreciate them.

Hi Chris
I feel quite honoured to be on your shortlist, as I’m sure that there are many walking and rambling blogs that are better than mine. A trawl through my blogroll should reveal many of them.
Thanks for the mention and for the link.
