UK's BEST Walking Holidays - Self Guided Hiking Vacations

Walk the charming countryside of England, Scotland or Wales in the United Kingdom on one of these fantastic long distance paths!

Your holiday will be self-guided, so you walk at your own pace on your own timetable, stopping to savor a tea break or grabbing a meal or a pint at the pub.  Your luggage is transported to each evening's charming inn, so all you have to carry is your day pack.

Breakfast is included, so either stop for lunch or pack a lunch for your walk, and then enjoy a local restaurant in the historic village that is your home for the night.

Meet plenty of locals and fellow international walkers on these famous and historic old trading paths.  Since they were the original route that folks moved from town to town, they naturally chose the easiest route, so most of today's routes are fairly modest - and remember that they don't have many high mountains in the UK regardless!  However, you will need to train so your feet and body are used to walking long distances day after day.

Walking holidays have become one of my favorite ways to explore a region.  Discover why on today's show.

If you are interested in a walking holiday in Europe, I recommend going with my affiliate One Foot Abroad.  Email me for a One Foot Abroad Promo Code ( the OFA Promo Code also works for their sister company, Follow the Camino who can help you plan your Camino).
