Centre-Based Walking Holidays
Particularly in Europe, we base the group at a small hotel or private lodge from which we can plan several daywalks into the surrounding countryside. Some walks start from the front door, whilst others use public or private transfers to the start point, and if you feel like taking it easy it is often possible to opt out of any particular days walk. These can be ideal first time walking holidays as well as great short breaks for the experienced walker.
