Best Father's Day Walking Sticks 2019

Father's day is just around the corner, so it's time to start thinking about how to thank dad for all he's done for you. While there are plenty of techy gizmos out there to occupy his time, it can be hard to find a gift that will make an impression that will last longer than the day itself. A walking stick is always a great option, as it provides a unique way to help you appreciate the world around you, and will maintain its beauty and versatility for years to come.

That raises the question: with so many walking sticks out there, how are you to choose the right one for dad? Well, at WalkingSticks.co.uk, we wouldn't be living up to our name if we didn't know how to help. We've put together five of our top picks for a great father's day gift, combining the beauty of nature with a sturdy, long-lasting gift that will have the rest of your family wondering why they didn't think of it first.

Staghorn Handle Hiking Staff

To start off our list, we've gone with a rugged yet elegant design that will never go out of style.

Made with rich coppiced chestnut, this stick features a combi ferrule with a rubber ferrule over a spiked one, making it perfect for just about any walking surface.
