Britain's best winter walks
Crisp-frost trails for December and January.
Britain's mild winter rarely sees serious snow below 500m, making winter walking pleasant from October through March in lowland areas. Best winter walks: the Norfolk coast at Holkham, the Sussex Downs to Beachy Head, Loch Lomond's eastern shore, the Pembrokeshire coast around St Davids, and the Yorkshire Dales' easy Aysgarth-to-Hawes section.
