Self-guided Flexibility There are no fixed departure dates - you can travel any day, walking for as long as
you choose. You walk unescorted from inn to inn, with the freedom to set your own pace.
Build in extra days for sightseeing/relaxing!
British Weather...
...Is unpredictable! Generally during the walking season it is dry with temperatures from
16-28 degrees Celsius (60-80 degrees Fahrenheit). If the weather is bad we can usually
arrange for you to travel to the next night stop where you can enjoy non-walking
activities.
We are proud to present our fourteenth year of walking holidays in our homeland, Britain. All
the walks offer rocky coastline, rolling hillsides and/or craggy mountains. Our aim is to
include all the elements that make up this green and pleasant isle.
We design independent walks that enable the visitor to sample the countryside and the
history of Britain. Our routes bring alive the descriptions of writers like Wordsworth and
Thomas Hardy. You may visit places where Roman legions marched and fierce battles were
waged.
Dramatic scenery, castles, historic churches nestled amongst wild flowers, sleepy
villages: these are all integral parts of walking in Britain.
Please
Note: If your planned dates of travel coincide with UK bank holidays on 6
Apr-9 Apr,
4 May-7 May, 25 May-28 May or 24 Aug-27 Aug, it may be necessary
to extend your trip in order to secure accommodation. During these periods
many hotels will not
accept bookings for just one night. If this effects your holiday Sherpa will
contact you immediately on receipt of your booking form to discuss any
necessary amendments.
We recommend that you book as early as possible to keep these changes to a
minimum.
