Many airlines have started to provide rapid Covid-19 testing at departure airports. One thing is for sure; ardent travellers will never stop. The future of tourism is bright despite the unprecedented challenges.

Among the best possible ways to enjoy such a recharge is to venture off on an unconventional yet beaten path of adventure hiking.

However, even though sometimes the weather tends to become unfriendly and decides to play a damp squib, there is always something interesting to do. It is best to plan your trip keeping the UK weather in mind. Bear in mind to consult the legal experts regarding an indefinite leave to stay since you would be in the UK for an extended period exploring your favourite hiking spots. 

Let us look at a few adventure hiking spots in the UK.

Great Gable in the Lake District

Great Gable is a beautifully landscaped area with absolutely sensational views from the height of about 900 meters. Mountain tops here could be approached from different routes. Some of these are particularly beautiful than others. From the top, the views are magnificent and awe-inspiring. If you are a photography buff, remember to carry a good camera with an excellent lens. 

Old Man of Storr – Skye

Termed as one of the most visited and famous hikes in Scotland, the Old Man of Storr is a hiker’s pure delight. Besides the actual hike, the entire local setting and landscape are a sight to behold. The ‘Old Man’ refers to the towering pinnacle rock, which can be seen from a distance of many miles around the peak. The trek to the peak starts from Portree and covers a distance of about five miles. The entire terrain is rocky with patches of green. The Old Man of Storr is a truly must-scale on every hiker’s list.

Three Peaks, Pennine Range in Yorkshire

The Three Peaks offer an excellent hike for mountain enthusiasts. Scaling a height of about 1600 meters to the three highest peaks in Yorkshire is a great challenge even for experienced hikers. It is an upward climb, which means the hiker must be physically and medically fit. The three peaks are a part of the Pennine Range, and the hike starts with a walk from Horton and proceeds winding up to the top. You may get lost in the beauty of the area, so you need to remember to hydrate during the entire hike.

Ben More in the Isle of Mull

Ben More is the last active volcano. Its previous known active state was about 60 million years ago, when it is believed to have spewed lava all over. The hike takes you to the absolute top of this great sleeping volcano, located at a beautiful vantage point. Once at the top, the views are some of the finest. It is a complete landscape spread of Ben Nevis in the North East, the spectacular North Atlantic Ocean, and the Paps of Jura in the south. The best part of the hike is its challenging route, another delight for genuine adventure seekers.

The Ridgeway

The Ridgeway is the most popular hike and is known as the ‘oldest road’ in the UK. The entire hiking trail, which covers the high ground, has been used since prehistoric times. You get some fantastic panoramic views of the North Wessex Downs and Chiltern Hills.
