Discover 20 best walks in the country plus picturesque Peak District trail loved by Gethin Jones

The best 20 walks in the UK have been named and a Peak District trail has made the list.

The stunning trail also has a celebrity fan - none other than TV star Gethin Jones.

Gethin rates the Kinder Scout from Edale walk in the Peak District National Park.

Speaking to outdoor enthusiasts at GO Outdoors, Gethin said: “I was introduced to this walk by my friend Will.

“And because it was that time during lockdown where being outdoors was more important than ever, the fact that it's a good four hours really didn’t matter.

“I think mentally it was just wonderful to pack a few snacks and the right gear and off we went.

“A tram from Manchester and within 20 odd mins [we were] surrounded by beauty. Freedom!”
