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.

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.
Stef
Sorry, I forgot to mention another good resource – http://outdoorbloggers.com/index.php
Stef, no worries I thought your blog was interesting and certainly worth flagging up to anyone looking for some decent content.
Hi Chris, I too feel honoured to be included in your list. Many thanks and happy reading.

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
Hi Chris,
I just discovered my blog is on your list – thank you!

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.
