Walking Holidays

This is our collection of special places to stay where there are beautiful, scenic walks right from your doorstep. A walking holiday is not only good for the soul but it’s also a wonderful chance to reconnect with friends or loved ones away from everyday life. We think these places are perfect for switching off and doing just that, and many of them offer facilities ideal for taking the weight off your feet once you’re back from your hike.
