Covent Garden

London may be one of the world’s largest metropolitan areas, but venture out of central London and you’ll be greeted by some of the UK’s best scenery and hiking routes.

From all-day treks to walks that only take a few hours, there are some great routes in southern England that will make you feel a million miles away from the concrete jungle of Zone 1. From Seaford, you can easily take the 13.8 mile hike to Eastbourne, where you’ll be greeted by beautiful views of the Seven Sisters, as well as Beachy Head and Cuckmere Valley. If you’re looking for something shorter, try the Mole Gap Trail. It takes you from Leatherhead to Dorking along the River Mole.

If you’d rather stay in London, you can still take the 6-mile trail around Hampstead Heath. After all, the area measures over 320 hectares, so there’s plenty to explore. Due to its elevated position, you can also take in beautiful views without leaving the city.
