Nowadays it is very difficult to choose a place surrounded by natural beauty and historical context for hiking. According to Britain's Long Distance Walkers Association, there are 1,100 hiking spots in Britain alone. But it is difficult to say which is the best or the worst. Because, every place has a special history or beauty. Today's discussion is mainly about walking in the top 10 historical places in Britain.
1. Tolkien Trail
The Tolkien Trail starts from the village of Hearst Green. There are no shops here. On the way, however, a tourist will see three liquor stores and a 500-year-old college Stonyhurst. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Ginard Manley Hopkins studied at this college. And the famous writer J. R. Tolkien has spent most of his life here.
He always valued natural beauty. And the beautiful scenery and history of this college fascinated him so much that he even mentioned various places of Tolkien Trail in his popular book ‘The Lord of the Rings’. This five-mile trail was once known as the 'Cromwell Bridge'. Along the Tolkien Trail, in 1648, the New Model Army went on a historic interview with the Preston royal family. There is also Pendle Hill and Clithero Castle, known for its fictional witches.
2. War Poet, Gloucestershire
The term "War Poet" refers to six poets, including Robert Frost, Edward Thomas, and Wilfred Gibson. And the historical journey of these six poets is responsible for the name of 'War Poet Trail'. Before the horrors of World War I spread, they traveled to the village of Dime in the southwestern English province of Gloucestershire to study literature. The incident took place in 1914. Together they enjoyed the enchanting view of this green village, analyzed them and began to write about it. Thomas and Frost first met in 1913.
Of course, no one was a successful poet then. Later on, they contributed a lot to the success of each other. In 1990, a descendant of Edward Thomas paved the way for two or eight miles for war poets, starting in the village of Dimac and ending at a poet-writer's hut. This War Poet Trail points to that historic trek.
3. Tin Trail, Cornwall
‘Teen Trail’ is also called ‘Teen Coast Walks’. The entire section from St. Just Square to Pendin Watch is included in this Tin Trail. This 2.8 mile road is next to the Jackson Falls.
