The Chalkland Way is a 41-mile circular route on the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds, Britain's most northerly chalk outcrop, linking the villages of Great Givendale, Bishop Wilton, Bugthorpe, Thixendale, Fimber, Wetwang and Huggate. It also passes close to the deserted medieval village of Wharram Percy at the most northerly point of the route.

The route was devised in 1994 and is made up of a multitude of different terrain types including agricultural land (including planted crops such as wheat and livestock), woodland and road.

Fulufjället National Parks is both sides of the boarder between Sweden and Norway. The route goes from the main Norwegian entrance to the park close to Ljørdalen, (Norway) to the main Swedish entrance, close to Mörkret (which translated in English means "The Darkness"!), across the mountain Fulufjället ("Fulufjellet" in Norwegian). At the Swedish entrance, there is a park information centre ("Naturum"). Very close to the northern end of the route, it passes Sweden's highest waterfall, Njupeskär.

The Isle of Thanet, lieing at the most easterly point of Kent, England, was once fully seperated from the mainland by the 600-metre-wide Wantsum Channel. This led the Romans to build a small fort there at its westernmost point, Rulculver,at the time of their conquest of Britain in 43 AD.  Silting of the Wantsum in the middle ages means Thanet is no longer an island, but remains culturally and administratively distinct from Kent, with its historic boundaries now comprising the Thanet local authority district.
