Questions and answers about hiking holidays in Great Britain
Our most beautiful hiking tours in Great Britain
Hiking in Scotland
Scotland inspires with a landscape that invites you to dream and discover. Well-maintained hiking trails lead through vast heathlands, dense forests and along legendary bodies of water such as Loch Lomond or Loch Ness. Sometimes the route leads over gentle hills with sweeping views, sometimes through rugged valleys where the history of the Highlands is palpable. On paths such as the West Highland Way or the Great Glen Way, you will experience the full diversity of Scotland: from the wild expanses of Rannoch Moor to the tranquil banks of the Caledonian Canal. Whether it's secluded nature or small Scottish towns with cosy pubs - a unique hiking experience full of contrasts and impressive scenery awaits you here.
Hiking in England
The wind in your face, the sound of the waves in your ears and the view of the cliffs - hiking in Cornwall feels like a little adventure through all the elements. The South West Coast Path leads from St Ives to St Just through a world of jagged cliffs and hidden coves.
The Cotswolds are completely different, but just as enchanting. Rolling hills, flowering meadows and golden stone houses tell stories of times gone by. Relax at the end of the day in quaint pubs. From the rugged coastline to the idyllic countryside, England's hiking trails enchant with character and charm.
Hiking in Wales
Wild, green and full of legends - the picturesque coastal stretches of Wales are world-famous. All the more reason to explore the beautiful region of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park on foot. From rugged cliff paths to postcard-perfect views of lush green meadows, you will experience the hospitality of the people who give the country and its culture a face.

Climate in Great Britain
The mild climate in Great Britain is ideal for hiking tours, especially in the months from March to October. The Gulf Stream brings the mild air into the country directly from the Atlantic and is responsible for the mild temperatures in the northern region. Although Great Britain is generally known for its high rainfall, the regions in the south in particular are drier than the areas in the western or northern parts of the country. In our Eurohike hiking destination Cornwall, the climate is particularly mild all year round and is therefore ideal for a successful hiking holiday.
Savoury British cuisine
British cuisine is very indulgent. You start with the most important meal of the day, the traditional ‘English Breakfast’ with fried bacon, sausages, eggs and grilled tomatoes. You can also find black pudding (blood sausage) or classic baked beans (baked white beans in tomato sauce) on the breakfast table. Other regional delights in Great Britain are tea, fish and chips, beer and whiskey, pies (especially Cornish pastry), apple crumble and Haggis.
Britain's culture and traditions
Influences from Great Britain have spread out over the continent due to British colonies and are still noticeable today in numerous countries such as India, Australia and Canada. But vice versa, due to its history as an international colonial power, numerous influences from other countries, such as from the Caribbean or India, can also be found in the British culture. Nevertheless, due to the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic customs, the four UK countries of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland differ significantly in their respective regional cultures, traditions and languages.
