Specialists in self-guided walking tours in South West England and Wales

Book with us now to get your 2013 walking holiday at 2012 prices!

Westcountry Walking Holidays specialises in self-guided, walking / hiking holidays and short breaks. We will move your luggage on for you, so that you can enjoy your walk pack free. Our walking tours cover a wonderful range of landscape and terrain in England's Westcountry (Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Somerset) and the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in Wales.

Grand cliffs and wide sandy beaches, intimate coves and rugged headlands, wild moors and rolling meadows, picturesque villages and historical towns... the choice is yours.

You don't have to be an experienced walker to go on our walks because there is a choice of walk to suit all abilities. We can help you to plan your walk to meet your requirements and advise on your travel arrangements.

Short Breaks

If you don't have time for a long holiday, why not consider a short break. We offer flexible walking tours from a minimum of two nights, so what are you waiting for?

New Routes for 2013

Having used another company for the first 3 legs of our journey around the coastal path we can categorically say that your company is in a different league. The attention to detail is amazing even sending us an e-mail while we were walking to tell us problems that we might encounter ahead. The accommodation you chose for us was excellent especially as I am sure many establishments are not keen on one nighters. Please continue with the good work we will be using you again in the very near future.
