1 King’s How

Cummacatta Wood in Borrowdale is classified as temperate rainforest. This walk through the forest and then up to King's How on Grange Fell is my personal favourite

This walk also features in my Top 10 Lake Walks. There's so much variety, including a section though, and views over, Holme Wood

3 North Cliffe Wood

One of my favourite woodland walks, North Cliffe Wood, where there is a spectacular display of bluebells in April/May

4 La Caldera

A walk from La Caldera which took us through an ancient forest in magical misty conditions

5 Gowbarrow Fell

A walk through Aira Force Woods, spectacular waterfalls, a lakeland fells, and wonderful views of Ullswater - this walk has it all

6 Lanthwaite Wood

A walk around Lanthwaite Wood, views from Lanthwaite Hill, and a walk beside Crummock Water combine to make a perfect short walk

A memorable walk along the Wild Pacific Trail through ancient woodland and along the rugged coast of Vancouver Island

A spectacular walk, partly in sub-tropical rainforest, following the Levada Nova on Madeira
