That sounds marvelous. I've always been fascinated by descriptions of holidayers taking walking tours. The UK seems so much more walkable than the US, probably largely because so much of it was established in times when walking was most people's only option, as you point out.

Walking Hadrian's Wall would be a blast. I loved the small portions of that we walked.

I like to look at the world at walking pace; you see things differently from a vehicle's window. It feels more human. Also, in the UK there is often an historical link where the same paths may have been used for hundreds of years. I passed someone in a field with a metal detector - if he's anything like my old cab driver he would have been looking for Roman remains.

But the US (especially Colorado) has dinosaur fossils, which are way cool :-)

Depends where in the US. I grew up in an area with towns about two or three miles apart. Catskills area.
