If you like your beautiful walks varied, try Grizedale Forest in the Lake District. There are ancient tracks and waymarked modern paths snaking through mixed woodland. You will see woodpeckers and treecreepers, and all the flora you would expect. In addition, there are up to 100 sculptures (all installed in the last few decades). My favourites are a trompe l'oeil elephant on a rock and a giant spindly woman holding a waterfall. There is even a carving on a trunk done by German POWs. Grizedale is a special place with secrets galore.
