Go Hiking in the South of England 1.png

Trekking practically throughout the UK provides an excellent activity, however Devon and Cornwall are the very best locations in the entire UK to hike out by foot.

Camping in Devon and Cornwall while trekking can be very enjoyable, and there are several locations to go and roam, whether it's along the shoreline, through charming market towns and the little villages or in the heart of Dartmoor National forest.

Here are a few of the very best locations to go hiking:

Padstow

This Cornish fishing town is the home of a variety of gastronomic thrills thanks to its pubs, coffee shops and dining establishments, however it's the beginning point of a stunning 8-mile-long walk.

Beginning at the harbour, your path takes you through locations such as Weapon Point and Trevone, in addition to Daymark Tower, a lighthouse erected in the 1500's to watch out for the Spanish Armada.

You're rewarded with unaffected views from the Cornish Coast. There are many camping sites bountiful round here, all within a brief walking of Padstow.

St. Ives

Located near Land's End, the westernmost point of England, it is among the very best locations to camp and walk.

Facilities such as stores and coffee shops are offered in the town, along with on Land's End itself. This part of the county is perfect for trekking throughout all seasons, and is ideal for newbies.

Views of Land's End, in addition to the Irish Sea take the breath away, and regardless of the 24-mile range, it's an enjoyable walk which will not tire you out.

Dartmoor and Exmoor

Devon is among few counties that have 2 national forests within its borders.

Both Dartmoor and Exmoor have a lot of tough trekking paths which hikers can very much have an enjoyable time. Dartmoor is the bigger of the two, and is blessed with wild moorland and high granite tors.

To name a few things, Exmoor has amazing views of the cliffs which meet together with the sea on the Bristol Channel.

The Two Moors way is 100% a must for hikers who wish to check out both parks.
