Welcome to Walking Places

Walking Places is your place on the web to store and publish your walking journals, diaries and guides. Whether you keep a record of the walks you do with the dog or write a daily diary of your long distance walks, we want you to tell the world about it, through the medium of Walking Places.

We can provide you with a complete hosting service, with your own sub-domain* (for example www.yourname.walkingplaces.co.uk), or simply publish your account on our journals page. You don’t need to know any HTML or have any technical knowledge of creating web sites, we will do all the hard work for you and best of all its COMPLETELY FREE!

The site has been developed to allow walkers to publish their daily diary or journal, even if they have no experience of web publishing.
