New research carried out by Millets has looked at Tripadvisor reviews which include the words ‘beautiful’, ‘pretty’ and ‘picturesque’ to reveal the most beautiful walks in Britain.
One of the greatest things about Great Britain is the array of world-class walking routes and destinations on its shores and the sheer variety of walks available. From mountains to moors to country parks, beaches, and more, the UK truly is made for adventure.
The Needles here on the Isle of Wight has made it into the Top 10, just behind Rhossili Bay in the Gower Peninsula.
Taking the top spot is Arthur’s Seat which is located in the heart of Edinburgh. Located around a mile from the city centre, the walk to the summit is a fairly easy one and rewards you with panoramic views of Scotland’s capital.

Kiera Baxter, Millets Marketing Exec and Adventurer says:
“Arthurs Seat is a stunning walk, offering 360-degree views across the city of Edinburgh and the Lothians. With many sights to view along the way, such as St. Anthony’s Chapel, the Salisbury Crags and Duddingston Loch, it is no surprise that the research has found the walk to be the most beautiful in the UK.
“With several routes available, a walk to Arthur’s Seat is suitable for every level of walker. For the easiest ascent, we recommend climbing from the east where a grassy slope rises above Dunsapie Loch. Whilst if you’re looking for a challenge head across the grass to the end of Salisbury Crags, where a steep path leads up Nether Hill.

We recommend avoiding car journeys where possible, stick to public footpaths and ensure you leave no trace of being there, taking all litter away with you.
“It’s also essential to prepare appropriately for every walk you embark on. Plan your route prior to setting off, pack plenty of water and snacks to keep you energised throughout the day and wear sensible, weather-appropriate footwear and clothing for the route.”
