Don’t stuff the boots in the kit cupboards just cos it’s getting a bit chillier...we’ve got 26 perfectly-planned walking weekends to see you right the way through to spring!

We’ve tracked down 26 fantastic basecamp towns and villages – and you’ll get two complete walking routecards for each.

In each case, one route is in the magazine’s routes section; the other is free to download right here.

We’ve got superstar venues like Hawes, Grasmere, Swanage, Loch Lomond and the Isle of Wight. And we’ve got less well-known gems like Braunton in Devon, Chilham in Kent, Machynlleth in Wales and Dufton in Cumbria.

From the great cities of Bath and Worcester to the lonesome lodges of the Highlands, each of these weekend adventures is accessible, walkable, and drenched with added bonuses, be it cultural mecca or silent glen.

And as you’d expect, there’s advice on where to stay, where to eat and what not to miss.
