Self-Guided Walking Holidays in the UK

Follow long-distance paths across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, from Hadrian's Wall and the Welsh border to the Highlands and Antrim coast. Choose coast, open hill country, historic routes or gentler walking between villages. You set the pace; we arrange your accommodation, move your main bag and provide the route information for each day.

Walking holidays across the UK

A relatively short distance can completely change the character of the walking. Roman frontier country, Welsh coast, Highland glens and the Antrim cliffs all belong to the same UK collection, but each asks something different of you on foot.

In England, you can follow Hadrian's Wall, cross the Cotswold hills or take on established long-distance trails through the north and south-west. Wales brings long coastal stretches alongside border and inland routes such as Offa's Dyke Path and Glyndŵr's Way.

Scotland takes you into lochs, glens and Highland country, while Northern Ireland follows the north Antrim coast towards the Giant's Causeway. Explore our walking holidays in England, Wales and Scotland, or see the Causeway Coast Way in Northern Ireland.

HOW IT WORKS

A self-guided walk, with the arrangements made for you

We've been arranging self-guided walking holidays since 1997. You walk independently, at your own pace, with comfortable accommodation arranged for each night and the information you need for the trail ahead.

Your main bag moves ahead to the next stop, so you walk the day with only what you choose to carry. When you're ready, we check your dates and requirements and send you a free, no-obligation personalised estimate before you decide whether to book.
