Hiking Spots Around The UK

Helvellyn is one of the best known hiking areas in the UK, and is situated in both the Lake District and England.
Hikers come from around the country to climb the peak, and cross Swirral Edge and Striding Edge, two of the best scrambles possible to climb in the UK.
Hikers love to climb Helvellyn for the thrill of climbing the scree and the fantastic view of the Peak district from the top.
It takes considerable effort to get to the top of Helvellyn, which is part of the reason so many people love to hike up it, for the challenge of doing something harder than climbing a well-walked up hill.
Scafell Pike is another great provider of hikes in the UK.
It is the largest mountain in England and forms one of the peaks that three peaks challenge competitors must ascend every year as part of the overall activity.
Scafell Pike is known for being a hard mountain to climb, and attracts hikers from across the world to conquer it.
The mountain has many routes that people can use to ascend it, and taking all of these routes over a period of weeks or simply over a lifetime is a challenge many people set themselves.
Ben Nevis is the largest mountain in Scotland, and is well-known for being one of the best mountains to climb.
Hikers often climb Ben Nevis as the starting point for a three peaks challenge, as it's easier to start at the top of the UK and work downwards for those who live in England, of course it would be counterproductive for any hikers based in Scotland.
Snowdonia is another mountain which forms the final part of the national three peaks challenge.
The mountain is situated in Wales and is one of the more commercial mountains in the UK.
It has a train leading to the top, and most tourists visit the mountain on their trips to Wales and use this train, claiming they've made it to the top of the mountain.
Hikers will find Snowdonia a great mountain to conquer, as there are several routes people can take up to the top, and in good weather the views are spectacular.
Of the many routes are some more challenging ones that will push hikers harder to actually ascend the mountain, as one of the better known mountains in the UK it will always make a great talking point when discussing with fellow hikers exactly how many mountains and hills each have climbed.
