Country Walking, latest issue: Choose your perfect National Trail!

The new issue of Britain’s bestselling walking magazine wants to take you for a LONG walk…

If you’ve ever dreamed of walking one of Britain’s incredible National Trails, the new issue of Country Walking has everything you need to make that dream come true.

We’re taking a close look at the nation’s best-known and best-waymarked footpaths, telling the inside story behind them and helping you decide which one might be perfect for you.

Celebrate 60 years of the Pennine Way with 60 incredible bite-size mini-tales, discover what it’s like to walk the Cleveland Way in a week, and plan the best two-day section of the epic West Highland Way (including the Devil’s Staircase – how tough is it really?)

We ask if Glyndwr’s Way is Wales’ best-kept secret, play Top Trumps with two neighbouring trails to decide which one to walk, and hear what it takes to be the custodian of a National Trail from the manager of the Thames Path.

We get excited about the movie version of The Salt Path, meet the founder of a legendary series of guidebooks, and find out what inspires people to #Walk1000Miles year after year.

Also inside this issue:
