How our walking holidays in England are graded

Most of our English walking holidays are at the lower end of the scale, with our Norfolk, Northumberland and Thames Path holidays being particularly easy (and therefore great choices if you are looking for a walking holiday in England for beginners). If you prefer slightly fuller days of walking, across more undulating countryside, opt for Hadrian's Wall, the Yorkshire Dales, Brecon Beacons or the Peak District. To be sure of choosing the walking holiday in England that is right for you, read how we grade them below. 
  • These gentle strolls range typically between 5-10km per day and involve few ascents or descents. Go at your own pace, pause at every opportunity, and take it all in.
  • You don't have to be a seasoned hiker to enjoy these walks, but someone who's happy to take on around 5-15km each day – with the occasional hill thrown in.
  • Expect to cover approximately 10-15km a day, across varied terrain with regular ascents and descents. You'll be challenged in places – but enjoy superb views.
  • Where rugged terrain goes hand in hand with the satisfaction of reaching a peak or high pass. Typically, days range between 7-20km and involve significant ascent and descent.
  • Our most thrilling walks involve full days on the trails, more challenging terrain, and testing ascents and descents, but there's still time to appreciate your surroundings.
  • Our flexible walking holidays give you a choice of routes each day, some of which are easier than others, so you can select the one that’s right for you on the day. This flexibility also makes these holidays perfect for anyone who is unsure of their level, or for groups of friends or family who want to enjoy a walking holiday together, but who may not all be at the same fitness level.
