After a long break, I’m bringing this blog back to life with a clearer purpose and a fresh direction. The English Rover has always been about exploring the UK on foot — the hills, the moors, the coastlines, the hidden corners you only find when you step off the road and follow a trail. Now it’s returning with a more structured approach, better guides, and a growing archive of adventures.
Over the coming months, you’ll see new hiking routes, wild‑camping notes, gear recommendations, hotel reviews from my travels, and deeper guides to the places that have shaped my journey. Whether you’re planning your first walk or looking for your next challenge, I want this space to be a practical, honest resource for anyone who loves the outdoors.
If you’re new here, start with the categories below:
- Hiking Guides — routes, tips, and scenic trails
- Gear & Boots — what’s worth buying and why
- Travel & Places — from the Highlands to Derbyshire
- Reviews — hotels, trails, and experiences
And if you want to know a bit more about who’s behind the blog, scroll to the bottom of the homepage — there’s a short introduction there.
Thanks for being here. Grab your boots, we’ve got lots to see.
