The OS Maps app has revealed the nation’s top 10 favourite walks for the period between April 2022 and April 2023. With over 3.5 million monthly downloads, the app is helping walkers navigate the outdoors and explore the countryside. The latest data shows a shift towards rural routes, reversing trends that developed during the pandemic where urban routes were more popular. Ordnance Survey’s David Jones describes the routes in detail, providing insights into the difficulty levels, estimated time, distance, and maps to guide walkers.
One of the top 10 hikes is a challenging 24-mile walk starting at Horton-in-Ribblesdale car park in North Yorkshire with stunning scenery along the way, including aqueducts, lakes, rivers, and moorlands. Another favourite is a 5-mile walk starting at Dashwood Arms car park in Buckinghamshire, which offers a delightful stroll through a conservation area, ancient trees, and fields. Other walks include a circular route from Grasmere to Pavey Ark, a remote hike through the Clocaenog Forest, a long-distance ramble through North Lincolnshire Wolds, and a scenic walk along the Great Ridge above Castleton.
The OS Maps app offers valuable navigation tips such as using the red triangle to point the way, following the black dotted lines for the pathways on the map, and using common sense when navigating forks in the path. With these tips and the top 10 favourite walks, the app is the perfect guide for discovering the best hiking routes in the UK.
