Every season has its own unique beauty, and winter is no exception, so what better time to take a break from the business, wrap up warm and set out on a bracing walk to blow off those cobwebs!

Robin Hood’s Bay, Yorkshire
Situated at the eastern end of Wainwright’s popular Coast to Coast Walk, Robin Hood’s Bay in the North York Moors National Park is a picture, with its tiny pan-tiled cottages, stone staircases and windy cliff-top walks. A famous smuggler’s haunt in bygone times, the beach is now recognised as one of the UK’s best locations for fossil hunting. Take in the spectacular scenery with a walk along the beach or cliffs, before settling down to relax in a cosy cafe or pub!

Buttermere, Lake District
Buttermere is one of the smallest lakes in the Lake District, and surrounded by mountain landscapes is possibly one of the most beautiful. The easy-walking 4 ½ mile circuit around the lake provides spectacular views and includes a short tunnel cut through the rock by the Victorians.
