Walking from one set point to another each day, your luggage delivered to your next destination in time for your arrival each evening, is most people’s idea of a classic walking holiday.
For those who enjoy walking, but are short of time, our short breaks offer a chance to visit some of the world’s most scenic walking regions and explore stunning landscapes and great cities.
