A Lake District walk has been ranked one of the best in the world. Placed 15th, Catbells near Keswick was ranked ahead of Italy’s beautiful Path of the Gods on the Amalfi’s Coast, and even ahead of the iconic four-day Inca trail in Peru or trekking up Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. The Catbells circular offers an unforgettable walking experience with stunning panoramic vistas of Derwentwater and the surrounding fells.

The analysis of the best hiking trails in the world was performed by Explore Worldwide, and assessed them by distance, elevation, duration, weather and Instagrammability, with each walk allocated weighted points for each of these five categories. Argentina’s Perito Moreno Glacier Trail claimed the top spot in the global rankings for its awe-inspiring beauty. Coming in second is New Zealand’s Hooker Valley Track, known for its stunning vistas, while America’s Scenic Drive in Zion National Park, Utah completes the podium with its breathtaking views.
