Special Interest Walking Holidays

Walking can be full of variety, and that is why we offer many different types of holidays, all of which have a very social focus. As part of our small, friendly walking groups, you get the chance to enjoy the unique combination of walking and a particular hobby, interest or pastime while mixing with some great people.

Of course, you get the opportunity for free time too if you’d like to spend some time exploring alone.

Look out for the following symbols and special interest itineraries:

Historical Walking Holidays

Enjoy walking with an historical or archaeological interest. Everywhere has a story to tell, from battlefields to mysterious stone circles, Viking towns to ancient Christian civilisations, and locations that have inspired the most famous artists and authors.
