UK's favourite walk has been named and it features caves, shipwrecks and coves
We all have a preferred stroll, be it a circuit around the neighbourhood, a hike in the Peak District or even a jaunt to our favourite pub.
However, consumer experts at Which? have conducted a survey of over 1,000 members across the UK to definitively determine the best walk.
Each route was evaluated based on its scenery, points of interest along the way, signage and waymarking, wildlife and several other factors. The data was then used to compile a comprehensive ranking table.
Among the hundreds of routes, a beauty in Cornwall emerged as the winner. The Lizard Peninsula Circuit, located at the UK's most southwesterly point about 10 miles south of Helston, took the top spot, reports the Express.
With its proximity to the Atlantic and almost Mediterranean climate, the stunning Cornish landscape is perfect for a refreshing stroll, culminating with a dip in the crystal-clear blue waters.
The walk itself covers a solid seven miles and takes approximately three hours, leading you from caves to coves dotted with enchanting shipwrecks.
The Which? review noted: "From the safe distance of the coastal path, however, the pounding of waves on the ragged shoreline is exhilarating rather than terrifying."
The circular route begins and ends in the village of Lizard before heading to Kynance Cove, once a popular destination for Victorian day-trippers but now offering a much more contemporary experience.
The guide said: "You can enjoy wrap-around sea views while you eat your sandwich or baked potato from the beach café.
"Visitors told us they appreciated the dramatic scenery, the abundance of wildflowers and the possibility of spotting a red-legged chough or bobbing seals and basking sharks in the tumbling waves."
From Kynance Cove, the journey takes you Southeast, hugging the coastline all the way to Lizard Point before circling back around the bay, offering an experience so exotic, you'd swear you weren't in the UK.
This spectacular trail has earned an impressive 87% rating, surpassing other beloved spots like The Needles on the Isle of Wight and the Buttermere Circuit in the Lake District.
With hundreds of five-star Google Reviews to its name, numerous walkers have praised the route. A recent visitor commented: "One of the most beautiful places in Cornwall, with stunning views and fewer crowds than Land's End. It's a must-visit if you're in Cornwall."
Echoing this sentiment, another said: "I've been visiting when on holiday with my parents, our children & now grandchildren for over 70 years, a place you can never get fed up viewing any time of year," and yet another added: "So beautiful and unspoilt. Would recommend a visit. Breathtaking scenery."

Greece battles wildfires across country, evacuates villages
DROSOPIGI, Greece July 26 (Reuters) - Firefighters were battling wildfires near Athens and across Greece on Saturday as the Mediterranean country sweltered under the third heatwave of the summer, with some villages and settlements being evacuated. Explosions could be heard as huge clouds of smoke covered Drosopigi village 25 km north of Athens, where factories with flammable material are located. Helicopters dropped water and 65 firefighters battled the flames, assisted by 26 vehicles and two aircraft. Two houses caught fire, according to state ERT television, while residents of nearby village Krioneri were instructed by authorities to leave towards Athens. Temperatures in Greece were forecast to reach up to 44 degrees Celsius on Saturday, the Greek weather service said. On the island of Evia, 115 firefighters and 24 vehicles were deployed to put out fires, assisted by six aircraft and seven helicopters, but strong winds were hampering their efforts. Residents of the island's Triada area were told to be ready in case they needed to leave. The fire on Evia is the latest in a series of bushfires stoked by strong winds and dry conditions this month. On the island of Kythera, authorities evacuated the villages of Aroniadika, Pitsinades and Aryoi. In the area of Messinia, west of Athens, residents of the Kryoneri and Sellas villages were also told to leave. These sites were on a list of Greek regions on high alert for wildfires due to record-breaking temperatures and strong winds due on Saturday. Tourism is a key earner in Greece, and the fires have hit since the start of the peak summer holiday season early in July. Greece and other Mediterranean countries are in an area dubbed "a wildfire hotspot" by scientists, with blazes common during hot and dry summers. These have become more destructive in recent years due to a fast-changing climate, prompting calls for a new approach.

Stunning Scottish village seen in Harry Potter and James Bond films named among UK's best hidden gems
Glencoe village lies by Loch Leven and is a base for exploring the Lochaber area, the Outdoor Capital of the UK Nestled on the shores of Loch Leven in the Scottish Highlands, the picturesque village of Glencoe has been hailed as one of Britain's best hidden gems. Known for its stunning natural beauty and rugged landscape, Glencoe is a favourite destination for hikers, walkers, and nature lovers seeking to explore the great outdoors. Located within Lochaber Geopark in the Highlands, the deep valley and towering mountains of Glen Coe were formed over millennia of shifting glaciers and volcanic eruptions. Glencoe village sits between the banks of Loch Leven and the mouth of the famous glen. It is considered the perfect base for exploring the wider Lochaber region, which is often referred to as the Outdoor Capital of the UK, Express reports. The area's scenic appeal is enhanced by a charming tract of forest surrounding a tranquil lochan, created in the 19th century by Lord Strathcona to remind his Canadian wife of home. This woodland, often compared to a miniature version of Lake Louise in British Columbia, is nestled amid dramatic conifers and towering mountains. Visitors can follow waymarked trails that meander through the ornamental woodland at the foot of Glencoe, providing ample opportunities for hiking and photography. The picturesque village of Glencoe offers the perfect base for an action-packed weekend break or holiday in the west Highlands. Visitors can enjoy fantastic days out combining outstanding scenery, nature, heritage and a wide range of outdoor activities. Those planning a visit are advised to arrive early, as parking spaces near the loch can fill up quickly due to the site's popularity. The lochside offers benches, picnic tables, and pontoons where visitors can pause to enjoy lunch, soak in the views, or simply relax in the serene surroundings. Glencoe's allure has also caught the attention of the film industry, serving as a backdrop for several Harry Potter films and the James Bond movie Skyfall, adding to its appeal for visitors keen to capture memorable social media moments. Tourists have shared glowing reviews of the area on Tripadvisor, praising its breathtaking beauty and peaceful atmosphere. One visitor noted, 'Parking can be difficult at the car park as it gets very busy. We walked around it at least five times during our recent stay and saw it in all weathers. "It was always beautiful. There are three walks: red is the shortest, blue and yellow are a good deal longer and more strenuous. The lochan is popular with dog walkers, must have said hello to dozens of lovely four-legged friends! It's to be recommended.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Another five-star review highlighted the variety of walking routes and the tranquil environment, saying, 'What a beautiful spot. Three trails to choose from. "We started on the woodland trail and came back on the lochan trail. A few other people around, but not so busy as to lose the sense of tranquillity.' For those wishing to stay overnight, Glencoe offers a range of accommodation options, including hotels, bed and breakfasts, and other lodgings. Visitors can also enjoy local shops and restaurants within the village and its surrounding areas. Accessible by car, bus, or train from Glasgow, Glencoe continues to captivate visitors with its combination of natural splendour, peaceful trails, and a touch of cinematic magic, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Scotland's Highlands.

How to holiday safely this summer under the Mediterranean sun
The Mediterranean is synonymous with sunshine, but intensifying heatwaves are spoiling holidays and even claiming lives. Here's how you can still enjoy its stunning destinations – safely. Georgia Fowkes considered herself a seasoned traveller. As an advisor for Altezza Travel, she was used to navigating sweltering environments, from East Africa to Southern California. But surrounded by whitewashed buildings and ancient ruins in Greece while dripping with sweat, she was miserable. "A European heatwave hits differently," she said. "The kind [of heat] that cancels your plans, fries your brain and makes you rethink why you booked a rooftop hotel in July." In recent years, many of the Mediterranean's iconically sunny destinations like Italy, Greece, France and Spain have become increasingly besieged by devastating heatwaves, leading unsuspecting tourists to come up with creative solutions to keep cool."Our hotel had AC technically, but it groaned like a dying fan and gave up by mid-afternoon," said Fowkes. "The tap water came out warm. There were no blackout curtains. I tried sleeping with a wet towel on my chest and a bottle of frozen water under my knees and still woke up dizzy. At one point, I moved my pillow to the stairwell and lay on the tiles like a Victorian fainting lady because that was the only surface remotely cool." Travellers wandering through the Mediterranean's winding alleyways and descending on its turquoise seas this summer have found little reprieve; several scorching heatwaves have already brought record-busting temperatures, leading to a spike in heat-related health problems and even deaths across Europe. "The line of the tropics has literally moved," explained Nick Cavanaugh, a climate scientist and founder of Sensible Weather, a climate risk technology company. "There are all these circulation patterns around the world and the ones that surround the tropics are actually growing." More extreme temperatures are predicted across southern Europe this weekend, just as the European holiday season comes to its peak. Dr Olalekan Otulana, a doctor at Cassiobury Court in the UK feels that tourists may be particularly susceptible to overheating, as many of the activities that travellers enjoy on holiday, such as walking tours through cobblestoned villages, long nature hikes and wine tastings, can exacerbate heat-related illnesses. "Extreme heat can be deceptively dangerous," he said. "Especially when people are on holiday and naturally more relaxed about their usual routines." Short of taking your summer holidays further north, here are some expert travel tips for enjoying the Mediterranean sunshine – safely. Choose your accommodations wisely It's not uncommon to find businesses, Airbnbs and even train stations in southern Europe that are completely without air conditioning – a fact that might take many non-European travellers by surprise. "Electricity has always been very expensive in Italy," said Andrea Moradei, founder of Vinarium, a Florence-based wine and culture tourism company. "We all grew up trying to conserve energy. You learn from a young age to only keep the windows open from late evening until 21:00. You use shutters and curtains [to keep cool during the day.]." Moradei recommended that travellers to southern Europe choose accommodations that stay cool naturally – like historical structures made of stone or brick, which were designed to absorb heat during the day, or hilltop lodgings that feature exterior shutters and cross ventilation for night-time air flow. Do as the locals do – relax after lunch The hours after lunchtime are often the hottest of the day, which offer travellers an invitation to embrace their inner Mediterranean and take a siesta, or break. "As [we do] in many Mediterranean countries, try to limit your activities in the afternoon," Moradei advised. "You can't fill your days with so many different activities because it's too hot. Take a cue from the locals… let some of the hours of the day slip away." In Spain, Italy and Greece, many shops and restaurants close after lunch (typically until 17:00) while residents retreat to the quiet of their homes. Hanging out in your hotel may seem like a waste of precious holiday time, but even a quick power nap can improve your stamina; crucial when dealing with debilitating heat. Taking a siesta doesn't have to mean sleeping, either. In Italy, the lazy post-prandial hours are referred to as the pausa pranzo (lunch break) and are seen as a way to recharge during a demanding day and, on weekends, digest an epic lunch. Catch up on your reading or plot your next meals. Smart sightseeing While it's tempting to pack in as many activities as possible on holiday – especially if you only have a few days abroad – experts recommend adopting a leisurely, energy-conserving pace and prioritising indoor activities during the worst heat of the day. When Whitney Haldeman – founder of Atlas Adventures, a luxury travel group for women – faced extreme heat on one of her trips to southern France, she said the group "shifted sightseeing to earlier in the morning, prioritised long lunches in spots with shade or aircon, built in daily rest time and leaned into slower, more sensory experiences: like wine tastings in cool cellars or floating in the hotel pool." Museums and historic churches are generally well-ventilated, so you can still come face to face with ancient relics and religious treasures without putting yourself at risk. Know the signs of heatstroke Nothing spoils a holiday like an unexpected visit to an emergency health clinic, so recognising the danger signs of heat exhaustion can be crucial. "With heat exhaustion, people may notice feeling dizzy, excessively sweating or feeling nauseous," said Dr Otulana. "If it progresses to heat stroke, symptoms become more serious and can include confusion and loss of consciousness as well as severe headache. There can also be a lack of sweating despite feeling hot. The body's temperature regulation system essentially shuts down and their temperature can rise above 40C, which risks organ damage." Otulana advises that travellers drink water regularly, even if they're feeling well. "Hydration is critical," said Dr Otulana. "So, maintain consistent fluid intake throughout the day." Haldeman recalled how her tour group frantically sought relief during their French holiday. "Hydration tablets, portable fans and breezy natural fabrics became essential," she said. "One guest brought a battery-powered fan we all envied by day two [of our trip]." It may be tempting to brush off heatstroke warnings – particularly if you are visiting the Mediterranean expressly to enjoy its famous sunshine. But "extreme heat hijacks your whole trip", Fowkes cautions after her own bout with the region's extreme weather. "I [don't] care how pretty the view is – everyone did the same shuffle: find mist machines, hide in grocery stores, count down the hours until after dark. We weren't sightseeing. We were surviving." --
