 | | Edinburgh boasts a number of hills within the city itself, the most spectacular being the famous Arthur's Seat in Holyrood Park: a surprisingly rugged climb to its 251m/822 ft summit, but worth it for the stunning views of the city, firth of Forth and surrounding countryside. |
 | | Not far from Liverpool, the Mersey Valley Timberland Trail is a new 35km/22-mile route through the Mersey Forest, Britain's largest community forest, from Spud Wood to Runcorn Hill, including heathland, woodland and sections of the Bridgwater Canal. |
 | | The City Council has published a useful list of open spaces and walking opportunities, which includes all inner city parks, the Sheffield Canal, the Sheffield section of the Trans Pennine Trail, the Five Weirs Walk, The Round Walk, Lady Ida's Drive, Westwood Country Park and most council woodlands. |
