Self-guided Paths and Trails

 

Introduction

Inn-to-Inn, Place-to-Place, call them what you will; if you like to walk independently, follow a continuous route, and move on to new accommodation each night, these are the walking holidays for you.

Footpath Holidays will book your bed and breakfast accommodation, transfer your luggage and provide all of the guidebooks, maps, route-finding information and planning services that you require, leaving you to free to enjoy the walking, the exhilarating scenery and the many wonderful sites of interest along the way.

Accommodation for our Self-guided Paths and Trails

We will arrange bed and breakfast accommodation in clean and comfortable family guesthouses, country inns and small hotels where a friendly welcome is guaranteed. All bedrooms will have either ensuite bathroom facilties or a private bathroom. Where possible there will be a choice of a full cooked breakfast or a Continental breakfast, but in some places Continental may be the only option.

Evening meals are not included so all accommodation will either be located close to an inn or restaurant which serves food in the evening, or provide evening meals in-house.

Occasionally a remote location, or lack of availability of suitable accommodation at the end of a walk stage, may make it necessary for us to either book you into one guesthouse or inn for more than one night, or to book you into accommodation which is more than one kilometre off-route. If this happens we will provide transport to transfer you between the walking route and your accommodation.

 

 
 
Looking for something slightly different?

On the 'Holiday Destinations' pages you will find details and prices for our Self-guided Paths and Trails.

If you wish to walk just part of one of the routes described, or prefer to walk shorter or longer distances each day, please let us know.

We are always happy to quote for bespoke itineraries upon request.

If the routes and walking stages are just what you are looking for, but you would like to add in additional non-walking rest or sight-seeing days, we will be happy to build this into your itinerary.

We will no longer be accepting new bookings for our:

Rest assured, any bookings already in place will go ahead as planned. The website general information pages, and any pages relating to the individual destinations, will remain ‘live’ as a reference point for guests with active bookings.

This is part of a restructuring exercise as we hand the reins over to the next generation. Our work as ‘ground handlers’ for specialist agents and tour operators, and with pre-formed groups, continues, as does our ‘private driver guiding’ (www.bbhtours.co.uk).

Our office is still fully functional, and we are happy to continue to answer queries and provide advice, so please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

We are also happy to recommend Contours Holidays (www.contours.co.uk), who have been offering a wide range of self-guided holidays since 1996. Mention Footpath Holidays to receive their ‘Friends Referral Offer’.

After thirty-three years at the helm, and twenty-two years of arranging self-guided holidays, this does feel like a big step. Thank you to our numerous past guests and ‘regulars’; it has been a pleasure to look after you.
