The Hiking World

Britain's long-distance walking splits north of the border and across the Roman wall. Scotland's West Highland Way is the best-known trail — Milngavie to Fort William, 154 km along lochs, over Rannoch Moor, and up the Devil's Staircase, with no walking permit under the right to roam. England's Hadrian's Wall Path is the other National Trail in this catalog: Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway, likewise no walking permit; the Summer Passport is a keepsake, and the Wall itself is a fragile scheduled monument.
