Wild UK coastal walks for storms and seal pups

A wild coastal walk is a cliff path or beach where the sea is the event: winter storm swell, or grey seals pupping in coves below. These eleven UK walks, from Cornwall to Orkney, are best in autumn and winter, with honest notes on edges, tides and keeping 100 metres from the seals.

Autumn walks in Britain worth getting soaked for

An autumn walk is a route that's better in October and November than in summer: rust-red bracken, gold birch and beech, the deer rut, migrating geese and seal pups. These ten long UK walks, from Glen Affric to Exmoor, are at their best in that weather, with notes on exposure and getting there.
