Welcome to the Trailivo newsletter — six trails, one letter

The web version of our first email issue.

A quick word before we begin. Subscribers received this because they signed up for updates on one of our trail sites — the Coast to Coast, the South West Coast Path, the Lycian Way, Cappadocia, the Via Francigena or Göbekli Tepe. That list has grown into the Trailivo newsletter: one occasional letter with routes, stories and guides from every trail in our network. Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe that removes you from all our lists.

Welcome to issue one.

Trailivo is a small family of walking platforms, built by people who think the best way to see a country is at five kilometres an hour. Each of our sites covers one great trail properly — stage-by-stage guides, maps, accommodation, and a free trip planner — and this letter is where they all meet. Wherever you first found us, consider the rest of the network yours to explore.

England, sea to sea: the Coast to Coast

Wainwright's 190-mile line from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay — sea to sea across the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. If you only ever walk one long path in England, most people who've finished it will tell you it should be this one.

The South West Coast Path

England's longest National Trail: 630 miles of clifftop, harbour and beach from Somerset round to Dorset. You don't have to walk it all at once — most people collect it section by section, and our stage guides are built for exactly that.

The Lycian Way, Türkiye

540 kilometres along the Mediterranean's most beautiful coastline — pine forest, turquoise coves, and ancient Lycian cities you'll often have entirely to yourself. Spring and autumn are the seasons; the swimming is part of the itinerary.

Cappadocia on foot

Everyone knows the balloons. Fewer people know that the valleys beneath them — Rose, Red, Pigeon, Ihlara — hold some of the most surreal day-walking on earth: fairy chimneys, cave churches, and paths that feel hand-carved. A perfect week of walking, no tent required.

The Via Francigena: walking to Rome

The old pilgrim road to St Peter's. Our guide covers the classic Italian approach — Tuscany's hills, Lazio's lakes, and that first sight of the dome — stage by stage, with places to sleep and eat along the way.

And something 12,000 years old

Göbekli Tepe, in southeastern Türkiye, is the oldest known monumental site on the planet — older than farming, older than pottery, rewriting what we thought we knew about the people who built it. Walkable? Modestly. Unmissable? Completely.

Try this today: every site above has a free trip planner — pick your dates and fitness, and it drafts you an itinerary you can fine-tune. There's also a concierge on each site that answers questions like "can I do this in October with a dodgy knee?" honestly.

That's issue one. Expect this letter occasionally — when there's genuinely something worth your time — and never more than that. Hit reply anytime; a human reads it.

Happy trails,
The Trailivo team
