Walking holidays and services
The operators listed on this pages offer a range of services to assist you in arranging a walking break away from home in Great Britain, including:
- Guided all-in holidays where the operator arranges all accommodation, transport to and from walks if required, and a leader or guide. On these holidays you will usually walk with a group.
- Self-guided holidays where accommodation is arranged and you are provided with the maps, guides and advice to follow the walking routes in your own time.
- Linear holidays where you follow a continuous route over several days, staying at different accommodation every night, with luggage transferred separately. These can be guided or self-guided. Many follow recognised routes and we show any routes supported by an operator in the listings below, as well as referring to the operators in our Paths and Routes section.
- Centre-based holidays where you stay in one location and travel out to different walks every day, with transport usually provided. These are usually guided but can be self-guided. Some centre-based holidays also include stretches of linear routes, walking the route in sections with transport to the start of each day's section.
- Individual services. Some operators provide accommodation booking, luggage transfer, transport and guiding as individual services covering particular routes or areas, so you can, for example, enjoy the benefit of luggage transfer on a long distance route while arranging your own accommodation. Some accommodation providers are also able to provide transport and luggage transfer, especially useful where there is no dedicated service. These are indicated in our accommodation pages.
We recommend...
| Ramblers Worldwide Holidays | |

Independent walking
For maximum flexibility it is possible to organise a walking break away from home entirely by yourself, and there are many resources on this website to help you. See Walking in Britain for general information; Walking in your region for ideas and suggestions for walking areas; Paths and Routes for a directory of selected walking routes, including details of support services and accommodation; our Accommodation Finder for an extensive directory of walker-friendly accommodation; and Public Transport for help on how to get there.
Walking festivals
These are another option for a walking holiday, offering a programme of led walks in a particular area over a weekend or a longer period: see our Events pages.
Note. Listings on this page are based on information provided by the operators and should not be taken to constitute a recommendation of their products or services. Please contact us with any updates, and let us know if you have any serious complaints. Unless an international number is shown, callers from outside the UK should prefix the number with +44 and omit the initial 0.
