Family walks for Little Hikers

For over 35 years the Austin family, who run the all-things-outdoors, Allan Austin, has been searching out the very best family friendly walks across the region. These tried, tested and much loved walks can now be enjoyed by Yorkshire families and their ‘little hikers’ simply by visiting the store’s Little Hiker website www.littlehiker.com where the walks can be downloaded for free.

This summer saw the launch of 'Little Hiker' - Allan Austin’s exclusive range of walking and hiking gear for children. We are really excited to be working with Little Hiker to review various items (including a Spotty Otter coat, too-gorgeous Spotty Otter toddler wellies - which Ella is modeling on the right - and some brilliant walking boots for proper off-road small people). Keep an eye out for the reviews coming soon.

Always eager to encourage his customers to explore the beautiful Yorkshire countryside, Managing Director, David Austin, decided to share his family’s years of walking wisdom in order to give his keen customers some of the best family walking experiences.
“As a family, we have discovered some truly amazing walks over the years which we have enjoyed with our own children – and our grandchildren! With so many families keen to get active and explore the outdoors, we decided to compile some of our favourite walks which other families can get to know as well as we have.”

Families with children as young three years can find a range of walks on the Little Hiker website. The walks, which cover some of Yorkshire’s most stunning walk ways from Wharfedale to Wensleydale and Calderdale to Airedale, are geared for families of all walking abilities with each walk pointing out pit stops, parking and picturesque photo opportunities.

As well as sharing these Austin family walks, the Little Hiker website also encourages families from all over the country to send in their own favourite walks which can be included on the site. Families can email their walks, which should include a step-by-step guide, length in hours and miles and other useful information, to littlehiker@allanaustin.co.uk
