Britain’s Best Walks & Weekend Escapes

No matter how much you love big-city living, a change of scene is good for the soul - and even more so if you don't have to leave contemporary comforts behind. So welcome to WKNDR: your trusted guide to weekend breaks to the countryside, city or coast. We're scouring the UK to bring you the best of the nation's walks and weekend escapes with ample edge to satisfy even ardent city slickers. Whether you're seeking urban buzz, a hike or a dose of seaside kitsch, we've got all the inspiration you'll need for a weekend to remember. 

From where to stay, what to do and our pick of the best spots for eating and drinking, our weekend guides to Britain's best city, country or coastal destinations will help you make the most of any mini-break. And if you've only got time for a day-trip, our hiking routes take in landmarks or views that justly reward your exertions, plus charming pubs or tea rooms at which to refuel along the way. Better still, each comes with step-by-step directions and downloadable maps that use GPS to keep you on the right track. So pack a bag, strap on a boot - and start planning a trip out of town with WKNDR.   

Our site is not intended to cover every corner of the country: it's more of a curated list of places that we know and love, brought together to inspire you to put your time off work to good use. So decide if you want a day-trip hike or a proper weekend away (or if you’re not sure where to go, search by region or hit ‘Inspire Me’ at the bottom of the page) and get ready to immerse yourself in the very best of British.
