Every route we can map
Long-distance paths of the UK
360 waymarked long-distance walking routes across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — 41,913 km of path in total. Every distance here is measured from the route line itself rather than copied from a leaflet, and every route page carries the access rights that actually apply along it.
360 routes · 41,913 km · 26,044 miles · 46 officially designated · 28 Scotland's Great Trails · 24 over 250 km · 10 cross a border
What counts as a long-distance path here
A named, waymarked walking route of 30 km (about 19 miles) or more, recorded in OpenStreetMap on an international, national or regional walking network. That threshold roughly matches the Long Distance Walkers Association's own working floor of 20 miles.
167 shorter named routes were measured and left out, along with everything in the Republic of Ireland and the Isle of Man, where different access law applies. The 9 European long-distance paths crossing the UK are also left out: they are designations laid over routes already listed here, so a page for each would describe the same ground twice.
Distances are measured, not quoted
We walk the mapped line point by point and add it up. Published figures for the same route often differ — they may include spurs, round to the nearest mile, or describe an older alignment. Where OpenStreetMap carries an official distance we show it alongside ours on the route page.

How this list is built
Route lines come from OpenStreetMap relations tagged as walking routes on an international, national or regional network. OpenStreetMap frequently splits a long trail across many relations — the South West Coast Path is mapped in dozens — so those are merged back into single routes before anything is measured. Everything else on a route page is computed here from the resulting line: distance, day stages, which countries and national parks it crosses, how much of it runs along the coast, and which listed summits lie within 2.5 km of it.
Two honest limits. First, coverage follows OpenStreetMap: a route that is not mapped there, or is mapped without a network tag, will not appear here. Second, we hold no elevation data for these routes, so no page quotes total ascent, and every walking time shown is a flat-ground floor rather than an estimate — use the walking-time calculator with your own ascent figure instead.
