Countryside and inner city walking is so good for health and the mind. All of the walks featured are doable with some fitness. we have some of the most beautiful countryside in the world but better than that a pub or a cafe are never that far away for food refreshment and company.

The one on Crosby beach amazed me. Wouldn't make my top million.
"We've got a beach same as most coastal areas. I know let's put some rusty tin soldiers on ours to make it different."
There's 1000 walks on the NYM better than that one.

Never be surprised at other peoples preferences. I am sure most who do that walk would never venture across the Pennines.
Well that was a terrific programme. Always love watching it. So inspiring - want to get out and do some of those wonderful trails.

If you go up Helvellyn from the Grasmere side take plenty of change. The car park by Thirlmere that we parked in was £7/8 for the day and the machine only took coins.
I know what you mean, but one good thing about the survey was that it threw up a lot of surprises and walks that I would never have known about. There were surprisingly few Scottish walks but I think that's because fewer people have been up to places like Stac Pollaidh than have been to Catbells, Malham, Snowdon and Helvelyn.

Then you walk down from the top and find people abandoning cars left right and centre before walking 300m to the top.

Guys, I know you are not supposed to sell stuff on here but I have some excellent new Vango Scaffell 300+ (still in the wrapper) 3 man tents that retail for £179 and only want £100 each for them. Personal message me if interested.
Apologies if I have broken any rules here.

I am surprised ITV didn’t release a book accompanying the programme. Here is the list of the 100

It was a great program. We've done 31 of the 100 but have run out of local ones so we've started the Wainwright ones. We'll definitely do some more though.
Also for those thinking of doing some of these I'd highly recommend an OS map subscription and their app as you can load the routes into the app. (Common sense, checking Met Office forecasts and paper map also advised).

Less than face value so I'm sure it's allowed

For anyone doing Goathland to Grosmont you must stop off at the Birch Hall Inn at Beck Hole for a pint but note it is closed on a Saturday due to issues with Gallon Trail walkers...I was talking to the lovely landlady Glenys last time I was in

Yep. They missed a trick there. We did talk about it but, at the time, ITV big wigs didn't think it would be so popular. They honestly thought that Britains Favourite 100 Dogs was better. But then the commissioning editor was asking us things like "Why doesn't Ore hang glide up from Glenridding to meet Julia at the summit of Helvelyn?" So, yeah, a bit stupid. What surprises me more is that Julia didn't cash in on it.

I'm watching it now, loving the scenery & camera work. But... like most of modern tv, the scriptwriting just does my head in. Why is everything like a bloody kids programme, so twee... aaarrggghh

For anyone wanting an untrodden path to walk locally, check out Tripsdale.
Yes, I agree. I was not involved with the scripts in the edit, which annoyed me. One of my pet peeves is mis-use of the word "iconic" ... and this script was littered with examples of that. But they basically have to tilor the scripts to what they think the average ITV viewer is. And they clearly think that the average ITV viewer is stupid.

Favourite run is the Seven Seven's in the Mourne mountains seven peaks over 700m so not massive mountains but you gain around 8500 ft accumulated so a decent effort beautiful scenery on a clear day
