PEAK DISTRICT One of the first national parks to be designated as such in 1951, this one comes in two colours: dark and white. The northern (dark) peak is muddy and peaty, whereas the southern (white) peak is rocky. Just like chocolate, there are those who prefer the dark to white, and vice versa. Unlike chocolates, neither has a particularly soft centre. PEMBROKESHIRE COAST Britain’s only truly coastal national park. The designated park area follows the coastline, so bluffers who casually drop into conversation that its widest point is 16km (10 miles) and its narrowest a mere 100m (328ft) will

True north The North Pole, which is of no use to hikers whatsoever, except for those doing a polar hike. The differences between all three varieties of north are usually indicated on the map that hikers use, but as we’ve seen, the variation of magnetic north is constantly changing, so the variation mentioned on a map is likely to be inaccurate. Hikers can resolve this by searching for the Pole Star, but this is only of use if you get lost at night. The Pole Star sits directly above the earth’s North Pole, give or take a couple of degrees.

NATIONAL TRAILS The creme de la creme of long-distance routes are the National Trails. These are the most famous names, the ones that are funded by central government. Think of them as the motorways of the hiking world. In fact, some are so popular that sections of the busiest routes are almost as wide as a motorway due to the impact of all those hiking boots.
