Though Trailspotting is based in the United States, we're originally from the United Kingdom and return regularly to visit family and to check out a few hikes. We're developing a collection of hiking trail reviews that will mostly be centered the North of England which we'd highly recommend as a vacation destination.

See our reviews for trail conditions, photography and a variety of map downloads. Locate your next adventure on the map or by selecting a region from the categories at the bottom of the page. You can also follow us for new trail reviews weekly.
