Welcome to Walkingworld

Autumn in the park

On Walkingworld you can find over 5500 routes, contributed by more than 400 walkers from all round Great Britain. This huge library of carefully prepared guides means you can find a good selection of walks, of varying lengths and grades, pretty well anywhere in the country. The walks come in a unique format making them very easy to follow, with photographs to illustrate every important decision point and a proper Ordnance Survey map. View a typical example (PDF)

An annual subscription of £18 gives you unlimited access to all the walks. You can print them out, make the guides into PDFs to view when you are offline and download digital mapping files for easy export to your GPS. You can also download walks direct to your mobile phone using the ViewRanger iPhone and smartphone app.

At Walkingworld we are constantly working to keep the walks up to date, dealing with any changes and corrections immediately. New walks are also being added every month and we are currently upgrading all our walks to have the more detailed 1:25,000 scale Explorer maps. If you ever need help on using the site or advice on any aspect of walking, just get in touch using the Contact link in the menu above. 

If you join but decide not to subscribe you are very welcome to use the site to get ideas for walks and receive our informative monthly newsletter. As a non-subscriber you can buy individual walks for £1.95 using your credit card or PayPal.
