“I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees”

Henry David Thorreau

We are delighted to offer a series of walking holidays throughout England, Scotland and Wales. 

Our Guided Walking Tours offer full days in Great Britain’s best loved national parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and country side. Each day you will have a choice of an easy, medium or hard walk. Your small group will be lead by an experienced guide navigating the way. 

Self-Guided Walking Tours offer you the choice to create your own holiday. Each Country House Hotel has a Discovery Point with easy-to-follow routes, maps, and 24-hour support.

Walking grade area recommendations:

Leisurely Walking Grades (Grades 1 & 2)

Walk at a relaxed pace, often spending time at places of interest en-route. Walking experience isn’t necessary as distances are quite short and gradients generally easy. Good paths but walks are a bit longer. Some walks, particularly in mountain areas, may have sections over rough or steeper terrain.

Moderate Walking Grades (Grades 3 & 4)

Walks follow well-defined paths, though often in hilly or upland areas, or along rugged coastal footpaths. These may be rough or steep in sections and will require reasonable fitness. Long distances in remote countryside and on rough terrain. You can expect some sustained ascents and descents; there may be occasional sections of scree and steep ground.
