Culture walkingwalkingTaking long walks in the countryside for pleasure is a popular hobby in Britain, and many people go walking in national parks and other country areas at weekends. Walking is also called rambling (BrE) or hiking. Many routes go along public footpaths. These are rights of way (= paths across private land that the public has a legal right to use) which must be kept open and which are marked on Ordnance Survey maps. Keen walkers may walk one of Britain's many National Trails. The right to walk across open country was increased in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act (2000).About half of the land of the US is open to the public, but there is no system like British public footpaths across private land. There are National Trails as well as many other paths in national parks and other areas of natural beauty including thousands which are the responsibility of the states.Topics Holidaysa2, Health and Fitnessa2, Hobbiesa2 the sport of walking a long distance as fast as possible without running 竞走
