Anyone got any ideas of where i can go for a few days gentle walking that will take me both into wooded areas and nice scenic areas. Im in South Manchester so Train station to train station would be a good one.
Cheers guys

Try Swansea and walk the Gower peninsular.

Head to Derbyshire - trains from Manchester will take you to Edale (just south of Kinder Scout) and Hope (just south of Ladybower reservoir). You'll have moors, conifer plantations and some decent pubs with easy reach

Is about 16£ return for me in Warrington, so less for you

x2 Edale up to Howden reservoir.

Yeah i know the area very very well (was on a camp site there a couple weeks back). Not seen that many plantations around though. Ill have to get my map out i think. I was thinkin more of a less used area though. Sometimes there are more people around Edale than in manchester City Center.

You can do the whole thing in 2 days but if you take 4 or more you see so much more.

Lleyn peninsular and Snowdon, with Derbyshire/peaks as a secondary option. easily reachable from where you are and lovely views.

What about the Lakes, I'm prety sure you can get a train to Kendal and set off from there. Plenty of places to lose yourself for a few days.

Kinder Scout & the tops around ladybower Res are great - sure its very popular, but you'll find most don't go too far from the car parks.!!! You can do lots of various circular routes starting and ending at edale BR station and once u are up on the tops you won't meet that many people, especially if u spend the night up there. Done it lots of times and the only conversation u will get is from the odd sheep!!!!

Haha, I got a bookmark from there when i was on way to the highlands once

Pitlochry.

Cheers guys.
Looks like i might do a large circular, maybe Edale and around Ladybower Res where there are some trees. Map time i think. And get my dehydrator filled.
