Load Off Your Back - Specialising in Long Distance Walking Holidays

Self-Guided Inn To Inn Walking Holidays

We specialise in self-guided inn-to-inn walking holidays on the UK’s premier long distance paths and National Trails.

Our walking holidays are the showcase trails of Britain, all hand-picked for their exceptional natural beauty, and each gives a snapshot of a differing and magnificent landscape. Designed with different levels of walking in mind, each has a special quality and provides a unique experience you can look back on for a lifetime.

The walking holiday areas have a variety of country inns, hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses all of which offer excellent accommodation, a friendly welcome and individual style. You’re assured of comfortable accommodation, a good rest and some relaxation often in great surroundings before starting the walk each day.

At the end of each days walk you’ll find that your baggage has been transferred to the next accommodation en route, letting you take a load off your back. This allows you use your energies to fully enjoy the benefits of your surroundings from intimate fishing villages, quintessential English towns and the peace and tranquillity after many tourists have left for the day. All you’ll need to carry is what you’ll need on your day’s walk.

No technical skills are required, you just need to walk from inn to inn. Daily distances can be between 5 and 21 miles, depending on your choice of route, and we’ll provide you a detailed guidebook and map to help you find your way.

Because these holidays are arranged to suit you, you can start your holiday just about whenever you want, take your trip at your own pace and in a landscape to suit you. You can pick up the pace on one day, linger and enjoy the sights on another – it’s up to you. See our Essential Information page for more details on how it all works.

Britain’s more beautiful of foot.
