A UK-based mini-break may not deliver guaranteed good weather, but it can certainly provide plenty of brilliant hiking and walking routes. From the ridges and moorland of the Peak District to the winding coast of Cornwall, the UK is full of beautiful spots just waiting to be explored.

It’s no secret that walking is good for us, and a day spent exploring is the perfect way to reap both the physical and mental benefits of moving your body and spending time outside in nature. Luckily for us, there are plenty of hotels perfectly situated to provide a place to put our feet up and enjoy a delicious meal after a day spent rambling through the countryside.

Here’s our pick of the best hotels with hiking routes nearby.

The good news is that your perfect match is out there, whether you’re looking for a subtle, barely-there slick of colour or an all-out coating of eye-defining volume. Here are the best waterproof mascaras to help you make it through your commute smudge-free.
