Explore the UK's National Trails and immerse yourself in landscapes that have stood the test of time. With over 3,000 miles of paths, these trails lead you through rolling hills, quiet woodlands, dramatic coastlines, and villages where the pubs feel like part of the scenery.
From the cliffs and beaches of the epic 630-mile South West Coast Path to the Roman remains along Hadrian’s Wall, the open moors of the Pennine Way, or the gentle hills of the Cotswold Way, each route has its own personality. The Coast to Coast also becomes an official National Trail in 2026, and while it may be the “new kid on the block,” it is already one of England’s most celebrated routes, famously mapped by Alfred Wainwright. This iconic trail stretches from the Irish Sea to the North Sea, winding through three of England’s most famous national parks: the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the North York Moors.
Perfect for self-guided walkers, we offer a variety of multi-day itineraries to suit all activity levels, covering nearly all of the UK’s National Trails and taking you through its most iconic landscapes. With over 20 years’ experience, Macs Adventure ensures you enjoy the best routes, cosy accommodations, and stories you’ll be telling for years over a pint.
The South West Path stretches around the south-west peninsula of England, exposing dramatic coastal scenery as the walk unfolds. The route is split into several delightful sections as walking the entire route at once would be rather time-consuming. This video gives you an overview of the route and how best to tackle it.
The Cotswold Way is a waymarked National Trail in the south of England. It takes you through the green rolling hills of the Cotswolds, through honey-coloured villages with thatched roofs and olde-worlde charm, finishing up in the Roman City of Bath.
Hadrian's Wall Path follows the route of the UNESCO world heritage wall, built to keep the barbaric Scots out of Roman territory. This outstanding historical site is punctuated with milecastles, museums and recreations, not to mention some of the best walking in England.
