What is myurbanhike?

Myurbanhike is a free resource for people who enjoy the physical and mental aspects of walking as well as exploring new environments by foot. Our aim is to develop a collection of great walks throughout the world as well as build a community of people who want to share information about interesting walks in their neighbourhood.

Unlike other walking sites myurbanhike is not aimed at those planning a hike in a remote part of the country.  Instead we focus on hikes in urban areas (mostly large cities) where most people live. You can out find about us here.

Download all our hikes for free.

Get access to all of our walks in GPX format for free. A GPX file is an open format GPS data file that provides you with directions and can be easily imported into a navigation app such as Google Maps. More information on GPX files and how to import them into Google Maps is provided here.

Which countries are included?

Currently our walks include cities in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. In the future we will continue to add new walks to the site. So if you have some thoughts about the hikes listed on the site, or a suggestion about a great walk in your neighbourhood, please lets us know.

Are there different walk categories?

To assist you in deciding which urban hike is right for you, walks have been grouped by city/country and distance, as well as six other unique categories. You can find out more here.
