Best of British Walking Holidays
Enjoy the best of the UK's countryside by taking the slow route
The UK is home to some of the finest walking country in Europe. In hidden corners throughout the UK are wonderfully wild, peaceful landscapes of extraordinary beauty where nature and wildlife still come first. With national parks like Snowdonia, the Lake District, the New Forest and Exmoor, it is little wonder that UK walking holidays are among the finest you can find. So why not loose yourself and get to know the hidden treasures of home.
There are so many options for walking and trekking holidays in the UK. The landscape of the UK is wonderfully diverse, from the wild open moors of Exmoor and Dartmoor to the wonderful mountain walking country of Snowdonia or the highlands of Scotland, the breath taking coastal paths of the Pembrokeshire or Cornish coast to the green rolling hills of the Cotswolds. Littered with incredible historical monuments, from Hadrian's Wall to Glastonbury Tor, Offer's Dyke to Urquhart Castle, and adorned with stunning natural features, there is always something new to discover on a UK walking holiday.
