Walking holidays

Walking holidays are a relaxing and rewarding way of discovering the most beautiful locations in Britain, and they are a great way to spend your holidays. Using Sherpa Expeditions’ years of experience with walking routes and tours, the Sherpa Van Project offers a door to door baggage moving service for independent walkers enjoying walking holidays on many of Britain’s best long distance trails.

Now you can have relaxing walking holidays without a heavy back pack slowing you down. We will move your luggage for you, door to door, from hotels, B&Bs or campsites, leaving you to enjoy the countryside and backroads on your walking holidays.

The countryside and the history of Britain provide the perfect combination for fascinating walking holidays. Descriptions of writers like Wordsworth and Thomas Hardy get new meanings and dramatic scenery, castles, historic churches nestled amongst wild flowers, and sleepy villages are all integral parts of walking holidays in the UK.

In the north, the West Highland Way is a long distance walking trail in the magnificent countryside of the Highlands of Scotland following its course from the south of Loch Lomond to Fort William and Ben Nevis. Walking holidays here will encompass historic ruins, country inns and spectacular glaciated valleys.

Walking holidays in the Lake District will take you through England’s most rugged and mountainous landscape, the Lake District National Park. The Cumbrian Way trail leads past the peaceful depths of Coniston Water and Derwentwater, as well as the incomparable Tarn Hows, forming one of the prettiest walking trails.

For a major walking holiday experience, the Coast to Coast walk starts on the Irish Sea coast of Cumbria near the huge red sandstone cliffs of St. Bees Head, crosses three National Parks before reaching the North Sea at the pretty fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay on the rocky coastline of the North York Moors.

Other trails that would make great walking holidays include the Cotswolds Way, an entrancing mixture of historic places, parkland, cultivated fields with dry-stone walls, and patches of unspoilt woodland, and the in Yorkshire Dales, the Dales Way with its picturesque villages and hamlets and idyllic pastoral landscape of green valleys.
