Guided Walks

Whether you are looking to tackle a section of unknown path in the lowlands, cross one of Britain's beautiful moors or scale one of our finest peaks, we take the stress of staying safe and sound off your mind. A guided walk with us not only ensures you have a knowledgeable and experienced guide with you to keep you safe. All of our guides are passionate about nature and our surroundings and love sharing that passion with you.

Ratios for our guided walks range from 1:2 to 1:12 in mountain, hill and moorland terrain. For lowland and coastal walks up to 1:12 is usually acceptable with bigger groups possible depending on the nature of the walk, terrain and group.

Participants will be expected to provide warm layers, waterproofs and sturdy boots. Further equipment requirements will be clearly communicated as part of any quote provided.

Lowland Walks

Our lowland walks are characterised by footpaths, tea rooms and pubs galore - mostly. Whether you simply want to explore your surroundings without having to worry about keeping track of where you are or achieve a specific walk we will happily be with you every step of the way. Our guides have the skills and experience to either stay on the paths or take you on an adventure offroad - where we are allowed to. In doing so they can help you explore nature from a new angle while safe in the knowledge that everything is under control.

Coastal Walks

The British coastline has drawn our people and tourists to the sea for generations. Some of the most beautiful walks these islands have to offer hug the coast, winding their way from bay to bay. We love our coast and would love to take you on a journey through nature and time. Be it a circular walk taking in one of the many sections of coast path available or accompanying you along one of the more complex and undulating sections during a longer trip, we will gladly join you. Please note that we do not offer coasteering or any water related activities.

Hill and Moorland Walks

The seemingly bleak moorlands of the UK with their rolling and identical looking hills can be a daunting endeavour for even experienced walkers. But off the beaten track these areas hide plenty of hidden secrets with stories to tell about a country steeped in history. Whether you want to explore the remnants of the various historical conflicts, go plane wreck spotting or see how some of these areas are used by our forces today, we will guide you and do our best to share what we know with you. However, our moorlands are beautiful places in their own right and a journey off the beaten track will seldom disappoint.

Mountain Walks

Whether you fancy tackling one of the nation's favourites or want to experience the blissful quiet of its secret peaks the choice is yours. We will meet you at the bottom and make sure to bring you back in one piece. Along the way we will introduce you to the fascinating upland flora and fauna around us, point out the sights and share our top tips on how best to move in the mountains. You never know we may even share one of the many myths surrounding our mountains, produce a wee dram on the peak or share our "best pub in the valley" secrets with you. Whichever peak or area you choose we promise to make the day memorable not only for the peak but the journey itself.

Long Distance Trails

There are a variety of long distance trails and national trails in the UK. These trails wind their way through some of the most beautiful countryside the nation has to offer while allowing those who walk upon them to rest their head in relative comfort along the way. If you would like to tackle a particular way get in touch and we will discuss your requirements. We can train you to be a confident walker, capable of walking these trails yourself or accompany you along the way. Maybe you just need us to guide you for one section in which case we will be happy to help you out.
