Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage
The Kumano Kodo is an ancient network of pilgrimage trails on Japan's Kii Peninsula, walked by emperors, monks and travellers for over a thousand years. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004, the trails lead through dense mountain forest to the sacred shrines of Kumano — one of the most revered destinations in the Japanese religious tradition.
Wainwright’s Coast to Coast
Alfred Wainwright's Coast to Coast runs 309 kilometres across the width of England, on foot from the Irish Sea at St Bees to the North Sea at Robin Hood's Bay. It crosses three national parks — the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors — through a landscape shaped by ancient geology and a thousand years of human history, from Norman priories to the ghosts of Victorian industry. This is the story of that walk, told one day at a time.
West Highland Way
The West Highland Way runs 154 kilometres through the heart of Scotland, on foot from Milngavie to Fort William beneath Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain. It follows old drove roads and military tracks along the wooded shores of Loch Lomond, across the vast emptiness of Rannoch Moor, and through the mountains of Glencoe. This is the story of that walk, told one day at a time.
Milford Track
The Milford Track is a 53.5 km walking trail in Fiordland National Park on New Zealand's South Island, widely regarded as one of the finest walks in the world. Threading through ancient glacier-carved valleys, past thundering waterfalls and over the alpine heights of Mackinnon Pass, the trail has been drawing walkers into the heart of Fiordland since the 1880s.
