Britain has a wealth of walking locations

Published: 16 January 2012

One of the benefits of taking holidays in the UK is that there are so many places to enjoy a walk.

This is according to Ramblers spokeswoman Maria Castellina, who explained that there are some locations that are particularly great during the winter months.

She continued: "Try heading to the seaside in Cornwall or Sussex for exhilarating coastal walks without the crowds.

"Or take in the particular wildlife that is only on display in winter such as at the Lisvane Reservoir, Cardiff."

The great cities of Britain are also well worth a look at this time of year, Ms Castellina noted, as they are free from mud and have some fascinating historic buildings.

She recommended taking a stroll around Edinburgh or York, as they are perfect locations regardless of what the weather may have in store.

Beginners are advised to start with walks on flat terrain, such as lakes, before building up to more difficult routes.
