National Take A Hike Day on the 17th of November aims to encourage Brits to get out there and enjoy some of the stunning natural trails the country has to offer.<\/p>\n

To mark the special occasion, outdoor holiday provider Inghams unveiled its Trail Etiquette Report, shedding light on essential walking rules and etiquette crucial for hikers to grasp before embarking on their adventures.<\/p>\n

Beyond showcasing timeless trails, the report delves into practical insights, addressing key considerations such as right-of-way dynamics among pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it covers outdoor bathroom etiquette to enhance the overall trail experience.<\/p>\n

The report highlighted the world’s most timeless trails that continue to captivate hikers year after year.<\/p>\n

Found in the heart of rural England and dotted with a\u00a0wealth of picturesque villages, the Cotswolds took the crown this year as the most timeless hiking trail globally.<\/p>\n

Among the most timeless walking routes, another trail in the UK has stood the test of time: The Pennine Way, which was the first National Trail in England and is one of the UK’s most famous long-distance walks.<\/p>\n

The data indicates that these two UK trails have maintained their popularity consistently among walking enthusiasts even before the onset of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

In Europe, Germany’s The Black Forest secures the fourth spot as one of the most consistently popular trails, while Italy’s The Apennines claims the 10th position.<\/p>\n

Venturing across the globe, Canada’s The Bruce Trail holds the ninth spot, drawing over 8,000 searches annually.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, The Great Smoky Mountains sees a remarkable 53,000 searches by ramblers worldwide each year, solidifying its enduring appeal.<\/p>\n

Among its guidelines for hikers, Inghams included some basic right-of-way etiquette, indicating that in mountainous or hilly terrain, it is customary for downhill walkers to yield (give way) to uphill hikers.<\/p>\n

This practice is grounded in the understanding that individuals ascending uphill generally have a more limited field of vision and are exerting effort against gravity to maintain their pace and momentum.<\/p>\n

Granting right of way to uphill hikers is considered a common courtesy in recognition of these challenges.<\/p>\n
