iFootpath – UK Walking Guides

With more than 1,234 detailed and mapped UK digital walking guides (July 2018) the iFootpath App, along with its partner website iFootpath.com, has been created to inspire people to get out and enjoy beautiful walks across the UK.

You can check out the coverage of walks before you buy – visit iFootpath.com. New walks are added every week.

From town trails to riverside strolls and countryside rambles, we are building a library of walks for everyone to enjoy – be it alone, with your dog or with family and friends. There are pub walks, city walks, waterside walks, hill walks and coastal walks with something for all abilities, from 1 mile to 14 miles long. The counties with the most walking guides include Surrey, Yorkshire, Sussex, Berkshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, Hampshire, Suffolk, West Midlands, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Dorset, Lincolnshire and Staffordshire but all counties in England have some walks to enjoy.

iFootpath is different. Of course it does provide the ability to collect and share GPS map data but that’s only the start. The walking guides are beautifully presented and enhanced with richer information optimised for walkers & hikers – descriptions, turn by turn instructions, photos, access information (stiles, gates, terrain, livestock…) historical notes, audio snippets, maps showing the GPS trail, what to see along the way and the author’s insight into what makes each walk great.

Key features include:
