Guided Walks

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 someone to guide you for one section, in which case we will be happy to help you out.

Any pre-requisites?

This depends entirely on the path and your requirements. In some cases no prior knowledge is required; at other times we would expect you to be competent walkers.

What can you expect?

Discover the solitude and sense of achievement of walking long distance routes. Enjoy some of Britain's most iconic views and landscapes. Connect with a flurry of history, stories and tradition along your chosen route.

Your experienced, qualified, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide will meet you at the starting point. As most long distance routes are linear in nature we will discuss logistics with you prior to the day, as it often makes sense to strategically place cars or utilise public transport.

The day will depend entirely on you and your ambitions. If our guide is joining you for a section along a longer journey they will keep you on track and allow you to relax mentally. If you want to learn some of the navigation and walking skills to tackle a route in future, your guide will gladly teach you as much as they can in the time they have.
Regardless of what you want to get out of the day, let us know as soon as possible so we can make sure your guide is fully prepared for more than "just a standard walk".

What do you need to bring?

As the exact path and duration will dictate what you should or shouldn't bring we will discuss this with you when you enquire. Generally for a single day out you will need basic warm walking clothing, waterproofs and walking boots.
