Our aim is to create an overview of walking in Europe with information on long distance walking routes within and passing through each and eventually every European country.

As we build we will include information on accommodation for walkers, walking festivals, charity walks, outdoor equipment, outdoor equipment reviews, details of new products, where to buy outdoor gear on our retailers page, guide to maps and books for walkers, walking news and walking holidays.

If you have information on long distance walking routes in your area that you feel would be helpful to our readers please do not hesitate to contact us

Our walking adventures so far have allowed us to revisit sections of the Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast, the GR5, the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela and the Camino de Robert Louis Stephenson from Le Puy en Velay

We offer free listings on our Walking Festivals, Charity Walks and Where to Stay pages, the only obligation is a link back to us
