Self-guided Tours

The South West Coast Path (SWCP), from Minehead in Somerset to Poole in Dorset, (at 630 miles, the longest walking trail in England), offers endless walking holiday opportunities and choices.

Dartmoor and Exmoor, steeped in history and legend, are two of the most famous moors in England. The Two Moors Way offers a walking vacation that combines both Dartmoor and Exmoor and is a great location for a memorable walking holiday.

Devon Coast to Coast A new route for 2012 that starts at Wembury in South Devon and travels across Dartmoor and Exmoor ending at Lynmouth on the North Devon coast.

The Coleridge Way is a 36 mile walk through the Somerset countryside, taking in the Quantock Hills, the Brendon Hills and Exmoor.

The Macmillan Way - Beginning at Boston, on Lincolnshire's North Sea Coast, through the heart of some of England's best countryside, including the Cotswolds, to Abbotsbury on Dorset's English Channel Coast totalling 290 miles. We offer 9 sections at the southern end of this route for you to choose from.

The Tarka Trail - A circular tour beginning and ending at Barnstaple in north Devon, taking in the Exmoor National Park and the Spectacular North Devon Coast. The tour takes its inspiration from Henry Williamson's classic book 'Tarka the Otter', which was filmed around here. More recently the Tarka Trail from Barnstaple to Bideford featured in the BBC TV programme "James May's Toy Stories" when he successfully built the longest ever model railway track - a whopping 10 miles!!
