Hey Everyone and Welcome to this weeks Hocks Summer Outings, firstly we want to say that Hocks A to Z will return from Monday and this series will return to its normal Wednesday slot next week. We have had a number of setbacks including my computer deciding to upgrade to the new +Windows 10 and taking hours to do it!
So this week we have decided that for our summer outing post we are going to get your legs going and show you some walks around the country you and your kids could do these summer holidays.
The first walk we are suggesting is in Betsy-y-Coed in North Wales. Its about a 3 mile walk and will take anywhere between 90 minutes and 150 minutes depending on your pace. It takes you to the reservoir named +Llyn Elsi you start your walk in Betsy-y-Coed behind a church called St Mary's and head up past the post office then follow the forestry road way marked Llyn Elsi. you will eventually cross a slab bridge. You will also come across the Ancaster Memorial and then will circumnavigate the lake then will retrace your steps back to Betsy-y-Coed.
You can find out more about this walk Here
Now that's an official walk but lets face it you dont really need to go on an official one you can literally step out your door and just go!
The thing with the UK is we are blessed with beautiful countryside, beautiful coastlines and beautiful little villages that no matter where you live are usually accessible.
In the North West you have the beautiful Lake District with Windermere, Keswick and Ambleside to name just a few and hundreds of different official walks
One such walk in the Lake District that is great for families is at the Whinlatter Visitor Centre, located between Keswick and Cockermouth. Not only does it have some amazing walks through the forest but it also has a huge outdoor play area. You do have to pay for Parking here. To find out more Click Here
Down South and there's some beautiful walks around the coast, taking in sights such as the White cliffs of Dover and the English Riviera
Wherever you are in the UK, There really is no excuse to not get out and have a family fun day walking
