I was in Cornwall doing a section of the South West Coastal Path over Easter weekend, this was somewhere near Tintagel: I'm heading up to the Torridon Hills in the Scottish Highlands soon, for a week long hike in which I plan to bag several Monroes, weather permitting. I'll report back with some photos! Hiking in the UK owns. Even some of the most remote areas are still pretty well serviced by the public transport network which boggles mind completely.

You're right, there are no truly wild and untouched places, but Britain is a relatively small island that has been inhabited by people since the Stone age so its not surprising that there are signs of human influence everywhere. However, there are still a lot of places that are both spectacular and remote to the extent that you are unlikely to encounter any other people! It's an accessible kind of remoteness, which I love. I had fantastic weather yesterday so I was able to head up one of the Monroes of the area, Beinn Liath Mhor, and then set up camp in the hills. I only saw one other person all day and he was some mad bastard running along the ridge line.  The weather today (and likely tomorrow) has been very wet with little visibility so I've been walking down in the valleys and pitched up at a Campsite. Luckily though, in Britain, no matter how far away from civilisation you might be, there's always a pub near by!
