Guided Walking holidays - Footpath Holidays A Family Company. Footpath was founded in 1983 and is now in its 25th year of operation. It is owned and managed by Suzanne and Ian Newman from their home in rural Wiltshire, where they live with their twin teenage daughters. Suzanne has walked and mountaineered throughout Britain, as well as the Alps and Pyrenees. Ian gained his mountain leadership certificate in 1987 and has walked and mountaineered extensively in Britain and worldwide.When you contact our office you will always be speaking to someone directly involved in planning and leading walks.

For those of you who have been on a Footpath Holiday before the arrangements will need little introduction. For those of you joining one of our holidays for the first time we hope our web site will answer most of your questions. For over a decade, we have been operating groups along many Long Distance Paths and National Trails.

A guided tour is ideal for those who enjoy hiking as part of a small, friendly multi-national group of like-minded people. Footpath Holiday's hotel-based Guided Walking holidays also offer the comfort of good accommodation. All our tours are led by an experienced and knowledgeable leader.

Every year Footpath organises tailor-made tours for clubs, groups, specialist agents and colleges. In the past these have ranged from club weekends on Dartmoor or in the Cotswolds to overseas hiking clubs wishing to spend a week or two in, for example, Cornwall, the Lake District, Exmoor, the Isle of Skye, or hiking Wainwright's Coast to Coast.

These longer tours often include an element of sightseeing, and ‘themed' tours (‘Architecture and Gardens', ‘Lakeland Poets', ‘Celtic History and Landscapes', to name but a few) can be arranged.

Our single centre self-guided groups give guests the flexibility to choose their own holiday dates. For all of our self-guided tours there are two accommodation options:

  • Half board (bed, breakfast and evening meal)
  • Bed and breakfast accommodation

Our 'Daypack Hikes' are tours based at one suitable location on, or adjacent to, the hiking route. We provide transport to and from each day's stage. We also provide an experienced walk leader.

We are happy to organise walking/hiking tours of any length and we are not restricted to the areas which appear in this brochure. We always welcome the opportunity to quote for tailor-made packages of any grade, in any of Britain's hiking areas.

Groups: Long Distance Paths and National Trails

Have you ever yearned for a tour along one of Britain's many Long Distance Paths and National Trails but found yourself put off by the thought of packing damp clothes into a heavy rucksack every morning, hiking alone, prebooking numerous guesthouses, or being unsure whether the route would be easy to follow?
If so, we have the solution! Join one of our groups.

For over a decade, we have been operating tours along many Long Distance Paths and National Trails. What distinguishes our groups is that we have eliminated the need for daily packing and moving on.

Daypack Hikes are tours based at one suitable location on, or adjacent to, the route.

Footpath provides transport from a prearranged meeting point to the start of each day's stage and transport back to that same point at the end of each stage. We also provide an experienced walk leader.

Long Distance Paths and National Trails in England

This year's Daypack Hike programme takes in a fantastic array of England's Long Distance Paths and Trails.
