Historical
Enjoy walking with a historical or archaeological interest. Everywhere in our islands has a story to tell, from battlefields to mysterious stone circles, Viking towns to old Christian civilisations, Iron age forts to sites from the industrial revolution, pilgrimage routes and locations that have inspired the most famous of our artists and authors.
Below there is a great selection of our historical walking holidays giving a gimpse into the past along the route.

Discover the North Wiltshire Cotswolds
Wiltshire is a beautiful place to walk, full of idyllic towns and villages that have been around for hundreds of years. Walking around them is like travelling 300 years back in time.

The Peak District
The rugged beauty of this area is overwhelming, and makes it a wonderful place to walk; rolling hills, tranquil dales, gorges, magnificent rock formations and some beautiful towns built of honey coloured stone.

Guernsey
The islands of The ’Bailiwick of Guernsey’ lie in the Bay of St Malo and despite loyalty to the British crown since 1066, at only eight miles from the French coast at their nearest point, they inevitably have a ’taste of France’.
This holiday can be combined with a week in Jersey on most departures.
