Nick Hallissey

Nick Hallissey is the Head of Content for Country Walking, Britain’s bestselling outdoors magazine. At the age of five, Nick was dragged along the South Downs Way by his parents. Somehow this didn’t put him off, and he developed a lifelong love of putting one foot in front of the other and seeing where he might end up. He spent his teens wandering in the Peak District, Eryri/Snowdonia, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. After working as a journalist on regional newspapers, he joined Country Walking in 2007. Today he leads a small team helping to nurture a love of the outdoors in an audience of tens of thousands of devoted readers. He also writes for CW’s digital arm Livefortheoutdoors.com and oversees the award-winning Walk1000Miles challenge, which in ten years has helped more than 100,000 people change their lives for the better just by going for a walk.
