The best of England & Wales

This holiday takes you to three exciting locations which offer probably the very best walking in England and Wales. Enjoy four nights in the beautiful Cotswolds, with easy to moderate walking amongst rolling hills, along quiet rivers and through delightful mellow stone villages, as well as more strenuous options in ascents of the limestone escarpment.

With another five nights in the dramatic Snowdonia National Park with moderate to strenuous options amongst rugged mountains, through woodland and across Moorland, including Mount Snowdon, at 3,400 feet the highest mountain in England & Wales and five nights in the incomparable English Lake District, with a wide variety of scenery and terrain, beautiful mountains, rolling moors and of course many lovely lakes.
