Favourite walk?

In 2000 we drove the coast roads highway 1 and 101 from Frisco to Crescent City. We sure did see some Redwoods.

In Oregon, Crater Lake highway(62) from Prospect to, yeah, Crater Lake was truly memorable.
 
We have a lovely circular walk from our front door that within minutes sees us in the town‘s medieval deer park. Then after crossing one road we are walking in the fields and water meadows of the R. Wey, which takes us to the beautifully located ruins of (the Cistercian) Waverley Abbey, then back by the North Downs Way into town, through the park and home.

Absolutely our favourite local walk…and from our front door.
 
i love the walk up the road to the Redan, via The Queens Head, Lord Raglan, The Crispin, The Rose, The Ship, The Leafy Elephant and lastly Sit & Sip before the scenic jorney ends at The Redan
 
A simple one, walk along the front at Whitley Bay, dip down the backstreets and loop back round.

A more adventurous but still flat one is a walk from just outside Brompton on Swale, along the river, through fields, woods, past nice houses and into Richmond, N.Yorks. That's probably the nicest, cake upon arrival in Richmond obviously to give energy for the return journey.

No hills, I don't do hills ?
I did this today 😊. In reverse though, starting in Richmond, up to Easby abbey, back to Richmond. Very happy.

I've picked out about 4 houses I want to buy over the route 😄
 
There’s a wonderful walk that’s takes in part of the South Downs and Surrey hills.

Start at Newlands corner, head across the road and meander though the woodland pathways and downhill for a couple of miles until you get to a little Village called Shere, stop there for a coffee in the big Tipi, then continue across county all the way up to St Martha’s church on the hill. The views are stunning and a great place to sit and take everything in, then cut back down the hill turning left at the bottom and it’s a short stroll up another hill back to Newlands.

From Rosedale Abbey up the Rosedale Incline and onto the Lion Inn, Blakey Ridge. Probably around 3 hours. Pie & a pint then back to Rosedale. It’s all downhill going back.

Another simple one. Park up in the National Trust car park below Roseberry Topping and walk up to the top. It’s a shortish walk but the view is amazing. You can extend the walk by going onto Captain Cook’s monument.

My version of the Roseberry Topping walk is to start in Guisborough, up through Guisborough woods to Highcliffe. Then along the ridge line to RTopping. You’re, basically, walking along the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors.

Love a walk up Roseberry Topping. We do similar as you’ve mentioned depending on time allowed, or sometimes start in Great Ayton and follow the Cleveland Way. Beautiful part of the world. Nearly always pop for a pint and maybe a bite to eat in the Kings Head in Newton Under Roseberry.

The parmo’s used to be good in the Lion Inn but not been over that way for a good few years.

If you fancy an overnighter, especially when the weather improves, stay at the Lion. They have a few rooms. If you have kids who want to camp out, stay in their paddock. Look out for their music nights - the place bounces…
