"Celtic Trails were thorough and easy to work with. We chose a shorter trip since I’m 76 and slowing down! The distances were just right."

"Seamless trip! I was able to focus on the walk. The info packet gave me everything I needed. The team at Celtic trails was so responsive and helpful. And their single supplement is less than other tour companies. I also really like that two of the accommodations were women owned! I was glad to be able to support them!"

What We Offer
Find the walk that fits
You might have your eye on Offa’s Dyke Path all the way from Chepstow to Prestatyn, or prefer to spend a week walking the southern section to Knighton. Across more than 70 routes in the British Isles and Europe, you can choose a full trail, a shorter section or a short break.
When you explore a walk, look at the daily distances and terrain alongside the walking grade. That will give you a feel for how long you’ll spend on the path each day and whether the itinerary suits you.
A comfortable place to end the day
Where you stay matters after a day on foot. We arrange comfortable B&Bs, guesthouses, inns and farmhouses along the route, with breakfast each morning.
We take care over the accommodation as well as the walking, so there’s somewhere comfortable waiting at the end of each day.
