Walking holidays in the UK & Channel Islands

One reason to choose an Inntravel walking holiday in the UK or Channel Islands is to see an area up close. Our diligently planned routes (explained in easy-to-read notes) are short enough that you don’t have to rush. And because you have no group and no luggage (we take care of that), you can make impromptu stops at churches, stately homes and castles. All of this, along with our accommodation of great charm, makes for a walking break that's worth it. 

In most towns and villages we use small, welcoming guesthouses, cosy pubs and friendly B&Bs with just a few rooms each, and so we are unable to accommodate large parties. Sometimes we use country hotels that are somewhat larger, with more facilities and a higher standard of comfort, though the welcome and sense of intimacy is in no way diminished.

Why go walking in the UK

We asked Destination Expert, Craig Summerill, what he loves about walking in the UK...

"Walking in the UK offers an incredible range of experiences, making it a top destination for walkers of all abilities. From the rugged peaks of Snowdonia to the sweeping hills of the Yorkshire Dales; the stately homes and grand gardens; incredible wildlife-spotting opportunities along the Fife coastline or in the woodlands of the Lake District - there's so much variety."

How our walking holidays in the UK are graded

None of our walking holidays in England, Scotland, Wales or the Channel Islands are particularly difficult – the emphasis of most is on relaxed exploration, such as in Northumberland and Norfolk. For fuller days of walking in the UK, our recommended destinations include the Lake District, Hadrian's Wall and the Brecon Beacons. To be sure of choosing the UK walking holiday that is right for you, read how we grade them below.
  • Go at your own leisurely pace on our grade 1 UK walking holidays, pausing at every opportunity to take in the beautiful views – whether of the Northumberland, North Norfolk, or Fife coastlines or the bucolic surrounds of the Thames Path. You shouldn't need to walk more than 5-10km per route, and there are very few (if any) ascents and descents to negotiate.
  • Whichever corner of the UK you're looking to explore – from the Scottish Borders to Cornwall via Snowdonia (Eryri), Dorset, and the Peak District – you can enjoy a grade 1-2 Inntravel walking holiday there. These laid-back routes tend not to extend 15km per day, and take place on easy-going terrain with only occasional ascent and/or descent.
  • Classic trails along the Hadrian's Wall Path, in the Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog), and across the Yorkshire Dales are what grade 2 Inntravel walking in the UK is all about. As you undertake routes of approximately 10-15km, traversing varied terrain with regular ascents and descents, you'll be greeted by staggering landscapes – for the opportunity to get up really high and bag up to three Wainwrights, choose our Lake District walk.
  • Not only does our gentle walking holiday on Guernsey allow you to discover this Channel Island's timeless landscapes at your leisure, it also gives you the opportunitely to visit nearby Herm and Sark. In fact, with no fixed itinerary, you can walk and explore as best suits you, using the excellent local bus network to easily access our choice of grade 1 and 1-2 routes.
