Hills closest to East Anglia

+0
−0

I live in Felixstowe in East Anglia. It's rather flat around here - and we enjoy hill walking. We've not been for a good walking holiday for some time, mainly due to having children.

Whilst we can get to the likes of the Peak District in around 4 hours for a holiday, I'd like to know if there are any localised hills that may not be well known outside of their particular area that are closer by to us that would potentially be a day trip away to introduce the kids to the type of walking we like, and see how they get on. Ideally they'd be fairly rural, with some worthwhile views at the top.

What about the Chilterns (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiltern_Hills)

Relatively near, though not very high

As you say it is rather flat around there. So you will be quite hard pressed to find any significant hills that close to you.

The most obvious area that comes to mind is the Chilterns. Although, that is still a good 2 hour drive so probably too far.

Various websites provide possible hikes for a given location. If you look through some of these you may find something of interest.

http://www.ramblers.org.uk/go-walking/find-a-walk-or-route.aspx (This one looks quite good but you have to sign up to actually view the routes).

I used to use another one for hikes around London/south coast a couple of years ago, which was good, but I can't remember what it was called/find it again.

If you go some where with cliffs coastal walks can also be relatively hilly. If there is anyone more local to you on here they may be able to give more specific advice.
