Another walk which has Owen from Marketing bursting with excitement is this on the Black Mountain, RIGHT next to Belfast City. It's also a fitting follow up to our mini feature on Belfast as a new city to visit for walking in the U.K., check out our lifewear blog for more on this.

A stand out of this walk has to be the fantastic views over Northern Ireland and beyond; from one point you can see as far as the Mourne and Sperrin Mountains and the coastlines of Scotland and the Isle of Man.

During the winter months, the views can be amazingly clear and there are glorious sunrises and sunsets that turn the sky roaring red.

Hatfield Forest, Essex

On this walk you'll see many of the woodland management techniques that make Hatfield Forest so special.

You can walk through the wide open plains, explore the coppices and see the natural sculptures that are the ancient pollards.

Imagine what life was like in the forest as you visit the site of an Iron Age settlement, wander through medieval coppices and visit a Georgian Shell house.

We absolutely loved it and will thank the National Trust over and over for the recommendation!

We're in Suffolk for today's Winter Walk where you'll find the inspiration for many of John Constable's paintings at Dedham Vale.

The contrasting views at this time of year are second to none – rolling fog lends pollarded willows a sense of mystery and you can really appreciate the open views across the Dedham Vale, with trees stripped bare so you can admire their wonderful structure, something Constable was well-known for painting. 

For full details please check out the Sprayway Walks section of the site.

This is the only featured Winter walk in Pembrokeshire combining ancient oak woodland and estuary.

Lawrenny is one of the few fragments of this type of woodland that survive here. In summer it is full of birdsong, but in winter you get splendid views of the river through the gnarled and twisted oak trees, now devoid of leaves.

Old Harry Rocks, Dorset

This wonderful winter walk is another which will provide views all too familiar to any postcard purchaser.

It is also is one of major contrasts: still woodlands; the sea; sheer cliffs; the sea; a gentle climb; high winds; Bournemouth, Poole and Swanage all visible but sufficiently distant; then the sea again followed by a steeper decline; Poole Harbour then finally pub and a log fire. 

The full details can be found here in our Sprayway Walks section, or alternatively by clicking onto the National Trust website.

Brean Down, Somerset

Whilst you may not recognise it from the name, you will all be familiar with Brean Down images as it adourns postcards sold all over the U.K.

The Down consists of a steep scarp cliff with outcrops and ledges on its south coast, and a gentle slope to the north, terminating in low cliffs giving exhilarating views of the Bristol Channel, Mendips, Somerset Levels, Quantocks and South Wales.

Please check out the Sprayway Walks section for full details.

Another Devon walk from our friend's at the National Trust, this one follows the South West Coast Path to the stunning Morte Point.

We found it was exhilerating in winter with the power of the sea clear for all to sea, however it would probably be equally as breathtaking in mid-summer.

Ringmore, South Devon

Another walk courtesy of the National Trust, this is a treat, particularly we found when you clear the valley and the amazing waters, cliff tops and weathered rocks come into view.

The full walk is available on our Sprayway Walks section and you can check out our walks map here.

Another walk that Owen from Marketing will no doubt be championing, due to it's location in Northern Ireland!

According to many, the National Trust included there is no coastal walk like North Antrim with cove after cove of sheer cliffs ringed and shaped by layers of causeway stone.

The full walk itself can be found in the Sprayway Walks section.

Another walk first recommended to us by the Guardian newspaper and National Trust Wardens.

The beach itself is only around a mile in length and a short walk from the car park, but it's the remoteness that makes it worth a visit. The National Trust recommend it as one of the best star-gazing sites in Britain due to the lack of light pollution, but we recommend it for it's pure beauty.
