Richmond Park has been named the most popular place in the UK for a so-called "hot girl walk", as the viral wellness trend continues to gain traction.

According to research by Nationwide Vehicle Contracts reveals that Richmond Park Circular Walk is the most searched route in the UK on TikTok, with over 192,000 searches.

The loop, which spans up to seven miles but can be shortened to around three or four miles, offers wide open green spaces, scenic views, and easy access.

The "hot girl walk" is a TikTok-inspired wellbeing activity where walkers aim to cover around four miles while listening to inspirational podcasts or practising positive affirmations.

As the longest day of the year approaches on 21st June, the trend is enjoying a fresh wave of popularity, particularly in green urban spaces like Richmond Park.

Parking is available at various points around the park, with several cafés and public toilets on-site, making it a convenient day-out location for those travelling in from across the capital and beyond.

Richmond Park beats out iconic UK routes including the Seven Sisters cliff walk in East Sussex and Durdle Door to Lulworth Cove in Dorset.

The list also features Edinburgh's Arthur's Seat, as well as countryside favourites like Box Hill and Malham Cove.

Driving Tips for Walkers

With many of these trending trails requiring a bit of travel, experts at Nationwide Vehicle Contracts advise walkers to plan ahead.

Key recommendations include:

• Check the weather forecast before setting off – conditions at higher elevations can be unpredictable.
• Plan your parking – research whether you need to pre-book, pay, or arrive early to secure a space.
• Don't forget your headphones – essential if you're heading out solo to listen to a motivational podcast, but always stay alert to your surroundings.
