Sun Bingo discovered the easiest coastal walk in the UK is the Giant’s Causeway Blue Trail located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland with the highest score of 81.63 out of 100 overall points available. This scenic trail takes visitors on a roughly 1.29 Km route that showcases the area’s natural beauty taking on average 25 minutes to walk.

The Holywell beach walk in Cornwall, England is among the second shortest walks, and would take Brits on average 30 minutes, so it’s no wonder it earns the title of the second best walk for those looking for leisurely stroll with a score of 80.23 out of 100. With an easy terrain and elevation score and suitable for dogs, this makes for a great walk for all. 

In third place we have two beautifully scenic walks, both scoring 80.21 out of 100. The first is Cornwall’s Boscastle Harbour walk boasting an easy terrain, suitable for your dogs, while taking in the scenic village of Boscastle. The second is the Dunwich Heath grey trail located in Suffolk which is perfect for birdwatchers. Both trails are among the four shortest reviewed at just 30 minutes across a 1.61 Km route.
