Phil Le Marquand is currently walking 600km/375 miles from London to Gateshead, all on Slow Ways. We caught up with him

"A journey of 2,200 miles is achieved with with each individual step," said someone or other, "and by ticking off each Slow Way on the National Park Trail." This week, we spoke to Steven Krambeck, a Slow Ways volunteer and YouTuber who is now into week three of ticking off each route as he slowly but surely makes his way around the entire Trail.

If you fancy a holiday and don’t want to stray too far afield, here are some walks to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace by holidaymakers. You might not use these for transport purposes, but there is value in enjoyment and leisure. That’s not to say they’re all easy; some of these are long routes. But if it’s a serene hike you’re after, they’re there for you, having been reviewed by our trailblazing volunteers. In the true spirit of the “staycation”, we’ve selected walks spread out over the country, in case you're only looking for a day trip.

Although my first experience of wild camping wasn’t ideal, it opened my eyes to a wealth of walking possibilities and I felt a sense of freedom that I have never before experienced.

As we bid farewell to Mike Tormey, Slow Ways star reviewer, Marshall Scholar, transport planner and all-round amazing person, we look back at what’s been an 'wildly joyful' journey through his top 20 adventures...
