English walking holidays

Inntravel’s walking holidays in England are about seeing an area ‘up close’, rather than bagging peaks. That’s what we mean by a Slow holiday, so take time as you walk to appreciate the views or visit a stately home or castle. There’s no luggage to weigh you down, and, with no group, it’s you who sets the pace and decides when to take a break. You can rely on us to find charming accommodation and to provide lovingly researched route notes to get you there, so unwind and enjoy…
We mostly use small, friendly guesthouses, pubs and B&Bs with just a handful of rooms each, meaning we are unable to accommodate large parties. In some places we use country hotels which, though larger, still offer a similarly warm, enthusiastic welcome and a sense of intimacy.

  • Why we think it’s one of the best walking holidays in England: there’s plenty of interest along the routes, making it about more than just the walking

    Featuring top-notch accommodation, this is a holiday with broad appeal – besides the glorious coastline, there’s a wealth of wildlife, making it great for nature lovers, plus there are beautiful medieval churches, sleepy fishing villages and the vast estates of Sandringham and Holkham for those who like history and architecture.

  • Why we think it’s one of the best walking holidays in England: it offers a winning combination of beaches, castles, wildlife and scenic routes

    There’s a different castle to visit practically every day on this holiday: impressive Warkworth, grand Alnwick Castle and its colourful gardens, romantically ruined Dunstanburgh, and brooding Bamburgh. These, combined with alluring coastal scenery – long sweeps of sand backed by dunes – and the chance to spot puffins and other seabirds, make for a varied and enjoyable holiday.

  • Why we think it’s one of the best walking holidays in England: rewarding routes, fabulous views and waterfalls aplenty

    Wensleydale combines everything you associate with the Yorkshire Dales – picturesque green hills criss-crossed with drystone walls, fast-flowing rivers, wide-open views and pretty villages of sturdy stone houses – with the added attraction of several impressive waterfalls, including famous Aysgarth Falls, and crumbling castles. All in all, a great choice if you’re looking for moderate-level walking. View our Yorkshire Dales walking holiday >
 

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, Shropshire 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.
  • Choice of easier or harder routes, so that you can tailor most days to your requirements.
