UK Walks with Troll Trekking

Scroll down for more information and views for the Peak District, Lake District, Norfolk & Suffolk, North Yorkshire, Wales and Scotland

Derbyshire - Peak District

This is an easy to moderate hill walking area with huge contrasts in scenery. The wild rolling grit stone and heather moor land to the north perfectly compliment the southern Peak District with it’s green pastoral landscape cut by spectacular water worn limestone valleys. This is a great area for bird watching photography and an abundance of history
and beautiful buildings in the local villages. Many trips and outings are possible on rest
days from visiting caves to cable car rides.

Lake District

The beautiful fells sitting above lush wooded hillsides and huge sparkling lakes were
the inspiration for Wordsworth and Wainwright and it is easy to see why as there is something for everyone here. Hard walks and scrambles up Scafell Pike, Helvellyn and Skiddaw to name but a few, to easy strolls on the many miles of easy footpaths through the wooded and pastoral valleys or beside the glittering lakes.

On rest days you are spoilt for choice with museums form Beatrix Potter to the Reged mountaineering exhibition, boat trips, teashops and lots of places to go bird watching.

Norfolk and Suffolk

With its fantastic coastline, sandy beaches, long shingle spits, chalk cliffs and many estuaries and rivers this area has a unique and unspoilt beauty.

These counties are gently undulating and provide a fantastic backdrop for amazing sky
and seascapes which have inspired generations of artists like John Constable, Alfred Blundell and Thomas Moore. It is no surprise that the Broads are soon to be given
national parks status and that the big RSPB reserves of Minsmere and Titchwell are
found here.
Bawdsey
The north Norfolk and Suffolk coasts and heaths long distance paths give easy access
to beautiful scenery including historic seaside towns like Aldeburgh, Southwold and Dunwich in Suffolk and Blakeney, Wells and Cley in Norfolk. Away from the coast there
is a mixture of woodland, heath and farmland criss-crossed by small rivers with many beautiful villages having old thatched houses and flint churches.
Wells
The Broads is a nationally important area of rivers and manmade waterways drained in centuries past by the Dutch, who built majestic windmills which still stand tall on
pastoral farmland surrounded by reed beds and marsh. This is most famously home to bitterns, marsh harriers, otters and swallowtail butterflies. We can take you out for the
day on the broads either by motor boat or for a sail in a classic broad’s yacht to see this area at its very best.
The Broads

North Yorkshire

Lush green valleys criss-crossed with dry stone walls and dotted with field barns, rocky outcrops and open fells, waterfalls and rivers interspersed with picturesque villages.
This area lends itself to easy and moderate walking on many good footpaths through a pastoral landscape that has changed little over the years.

Walks can be tied in with a trip on a steam train on the North Yorkshire moors or
Settle – Carlisle steam railways. This is an area made famous by James Herriot and Heartbeat and it is excellent for bird watching and photography.

Yorkshire

South West Scotland - Dunfries & Galloway

This area is steeped in history and cannot fail to warm the heart and relax the soul,
with its rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, rolling hills and indigenous ancient woodland.
Many pretty fishing harbours, ancient castles and monuments testify to mans love of
this area.

A great location for easy and moderate walking through varied coastal and mountain
areas with super opportunities for bird watching, photography, painting and sketching. Self-catering and fully catered options in sea front accommodation.

Laurestoni

Highlands - West Coast of Scotland

This is the land of the ancient giants rising out of beautiful glens such as Glen Orchy,
Glen Etive, Glen Lochy, Glen Coe and Glen Nevis with their sparkling lakes and streams.

This is a rugged landscape with majestic peaks and soaring ridges a truly wild area inhabited by red deer, ptarmigan and the golden eagle. An area for moderate valley walking or hard mountain peaks like Ben Nevis and the other Munro’s.
Loch Lomond

Wales - Snowdonia

North Wales is a mountainous area of towering rock faces and awesome valleys.
Snowdon, the Glyders and the Carneddau give the opportunity for many hard walking
and scrambling days with spectacular ridges, rocky peaks and mountain corries filled
with numerous tarns.

Wales
Mid Wales is largely a more gentle landscape. The remote heather covered Rhinogs give
a variety of easy and moderate walking in true wilderness with beautiful sea views.
Cadair Idris – Arthur’s seat is the giant in this area and provides more challenging
walks. The surrounding lowland woods and estuaries have an abundance of birds and
wild flowers.
