We can take you to the farthest points of the UK, to well-known beauty spots and secret gems that offer up Britain’s magnificent past, from historic buildings and ancient ruins, to untouched landscapes and geological wonders.

Sister company to Ramblers Worldwide Holidays – the original walking company – and with collectively over 160 years of experience in exploring the world on foot, you couldn’t find a better company to show you the best of the British countryside.

Is a walking holiday for me?

Exploring on foot offers a unique perspective on your destination. Experience scenic landscapes close up, first hand, and savour the sensation of outdoor life. You’ll return home relaxed and revitalised.

Our holidays are designed to be flexible, fun and hassle free, and whether you are a single traveller, part of a couple or holidaying with a group, your Ramblers Countrywide Holidays leader will make sure you get the best out of your chosen area.

Small, friendly walking groups

Our small, friendly and informal holiday groups generally consist of 12-20 people, plus your Ramblers Countrywide leader. You’ll be walking with like-minded people, all of who enjoy the freedom and flexibility of a walking holiday.

Wide range of walking levels

You don’t need to be an experienced walker to enjoy our holidays. Our walking grades make it easy to identify the level of holiday that’s right for you, depending on your personal fitness and how challenging you’d like your holiday to be.

Our walking holiday itineraries

Walking can be full of variety and that is why some of our walking itineraries have been specially tailored to include interests such as history, geology or birds and flowers, and types of walking such as continuous walks or cruising and walking.

To help you identify a walking holiday that may include a favourite interest of yours, we’ve highlighted the relevant holiday type in the holiday descriptions.

Tours tailored to you

We have a team dedicated to organising trips for larger groups who want to holiday together on a specific walking programme. We can help with advice on choice of destination and tailor the arrangements according to your needs.

Walking holidays are environmentally friendly holidays

Travelling in small groups minimises impact on the immediate environment. We feel that the most important starting point to protect the environment is to be ‘out in it’. Without being out there and having an awareness of its beauty, importance and vulnerability there is no understanding or sense of loss when it is threatened.
