Lewis and Tolkien are big nyets for me in any case, but I'm not interested in a fictional walk as a walk. It would depend on the nature of the novel itself.

I think the towering classic of the travel/walking subcategory would have to be Patrick Leigh Fermor's A Time of Gifts, but there are many others nearly as magical. And not Bryson's A Walk in the Woods, also heavily fictionalized!
