National Trust
Escape the festive bustle with
a National Trust winter walk
Christmas can be tiring. But don’t let the dark days get you down, it’s the perfect time to
wrap up warm, throw on some wellies and get out on an invigorating winter walk. What
better way to celebrate the festive season?
Blow away the December cobwebs while rambling along blustery coastal paths, or
take a stroll through frosty countryside and keep your eyes peeled for seasonal wildlife.
Whichever route you choose, there’s something to suit all tastes.
With the help of its supporters, the National Trust cares for hundreds of walking trails in
beautiful locations all across the country. Here are some of the best walking trails and
events to give you a spring in your step during the cold winter months.
South West
Godolphin, Cornwall
A gentle ramble up to the top of Godolphin Hill
which boasts one of the best views over West
Cornwall. On a clear winters day you can see as
far as St Michael’s Mount and St Ives bay. Every
time you venture into the Cornish countryside
you are helping National Trust rangers maintain
pathways and trails for family walks all year round.

Get a view of the breath-taking Jurassic coast from
the edge of these unique rock formations. Beautiful
on both a calm or blustery day, the sound of the
waves beneath is the perfect winter escape to the
coast.
