Walking Holidays in the British Isles


Sherpa Expeditions British walking holidays offer an eclectic mix of rocky coastline, rolling hillsides and craggy mountains. Their aim is to include all the elements that make up this green and pleasant isle, including perhaps the opportunity to visit a castle, some gardens, have a cream tea, a great pint of ale or even an armful of fish 'n' chips wrapped in paper!

They design independent walks that enable the visitor to sample the countryside and the history of Britain. Their routes bring alive the descriptions of writers like William Wordsworth, Thomas Hardy, Boswell and Johnson. You may visit places where Roman legions marched and fierce battles were waged, perhaps walking on an ancient cattle drover's route over the hills to market.

On every tour there is at least in part, great historical interest as well as natural beauty. Most, but not all of the walks, follow at least in part, sections of the reasonably well maintained long distance paths or National Trails whose concept and history has origins in the Great Trespass Movement of the 1930s.

Dramatic scenery, castles, historic churches nestled amongst wild flowers, sleepy villages, sunshine and rain: these are all integral parts of walking in Britain.
