On Foot

Favourite Hikes.
From Scotland to Switzerland

The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot
- Werner Herzog

Walking is the original form of slow travel — I’ve found that wonderful things happen when we move through a landscape at 3mph (4mph on a good day).

I recommend these walks for their atmosphere, their vistas, and their sense of scale — and I’ve included practicalities so you can follow the paths yourself.

Walking is a virtue, tourism is a deadly sin.
