Even in summer, temperatures rarely become too hot, and the weather is generally comfortable for long days on the trails. Spring and summer bring lush green landscapes, flowering meadows and long daylight hours, while autumn transforms the countryside with beautiful golden colours.

English weather is famously changeable, and a sunny morning can quickly give way to a passing shower. But the shifting clouds and refreshing climate are all part of the charm of walking in England. With a good waterproof jacket in your backpack, you'll be ready for almost anything!
