Hiking for a healthier mind
Hiking for a healthier mind can mean different things for different people, but Mountains not molehills aims to highlight the enormous positive effect that the outdoors can have on our mental health. You can expect regular posts from our own walking/hiking trips, as well as guest articles, reviews, routes and more.
Hiking for a healthier mind is our philosophy, but we understand that mountain hiking isn’t for everyone. So we also cover walks along canals, woodland areas, country parks and much more.
Discover beautiful hiking across the UK
The UK has some absolutely stunning hiking trails, and every year thousands of people experience everything they have to offer. Are you an avid box ticker collecting all of the Wainwright walks in the beautiful Lake District? Perhaps you are looking to climb all of the Munro’s in Scotland.
Scotland boasts the highest mountain in the UK, Ben Nevis (4,409ft), which unsurprisingly is also part of the National Three Peaks challenge.
The Lake District in England is renowned for its hills, fells and mountains. Scafell Pike is part of the National Three Peaks challenge and Helvellyn is famous for Striding Edge.
Snowdonia in Wales is home to some truly breathtaking walks, including Mount Snowdon, which makes up the National Three Peaks challenge.
Want to challenge yourself?
Various charities use hiking challenges to raise much needed funds, with hundreds of people taking part every year. Whether it is the National Three Peaks challenge or something a little less intense, you can find it here.
Mental Health support
Hiking for a healthier mind is an important aspect to Mountains not molehills, but we also try to provide details of a number of mental health support networks. There are a number of organisations which are here to help anyone who is struggling with their own mental health.
