British walking tours inspiration

Explore the soul-stirring British landscapes on foot

Hit the city streets, discover ancient history, meet the locals and get closer to nature on Trafalgar’s tours in the UK. Whether you want to explore the lively streets of Edinburgh, London and Liverpool, or discover royal castles and the wild Highlands, you’ll get intimate with the best of the UK on our British walking tours.

Ramble through spectacular scenery

You’ll stretch your legs in the most extraordinary landscapes on our UK tour packages. Set foot on the Isle of Skye and trace the path of Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth at Lake Windermere. Cross the mystical stepping stones of the Giant’s Causeway and wander the gorgeous Cornish Peninsula. Get up close to the prehistoric Stonehenge and wander through the wild hills of the Scottish highlands.

Meet the locals along the way

You can’t set off on our walking tours in Great Britain without meeting a few of the friendly locals. Meet Neil the Shepherd on a real Highland sheep farm, or join the Wood family for a home-cooked Scottish lunch on their 15th-century farm near Loch Ard. Enjoy a traditional High Tea in a stately 18th-century home or indulge in home-made ice-cream with the Dyer family on their 15th-century dairy farm in Somerset.

Discover Britain’s cities up close

Our guided walking tours in the UK aren’t just about stunning natural landscapes... We’ll also show you the best of Britain’s cities on foot. See the highlights of enchanting Edinburgh and Dublin with a Local Specialist. Stroll along the ancient battlements of Cardiff Castle and the cobblestone Shambles of York. Walk past the famous Tudor Rows of Ludlow, see George Square in Glasgow and soak up the Beatles history of Liverpool.

All you need to know about British Walking Tours

What are walking tours.

A walking tour takes you around a city, park, historical site, or any attraction, on foot. Whether you stroll down cobblestone streets, wander ancient ruins or hike through a forest, you’ll get an intimate look at the local landscapes and culture on a walking tour. Even better, you’ll get some exercise in the fresh air while appreciating the close-up details that are often missed when you whizz by in a car.

Is Windsor Castle worth visiting?

As the world’s largest and oldest occupied castle, Windsor Castle is definitely worth visiting. With almost 1,000 years of history starting with William the Conqueror, the castle is now one of the Queen’s grand homes. We’ll take you to see the castle’s elegant State Apartments with intricate ceilings, artworks and Queen Mary’s Doll House, and St. George’s Chapel where Prince Harry wed Meghan Markle.

What palaces can you visit in London?

While Buckingham Palace is the most iconic palace in London, there are a few more that are well worth a trip. Be sure to check out the famous Kensington Palace, the Kew Palace and stunning Kew Gardens, the regal Hampton Court Palace, and the historic Palace of Westminster. And don’t forget the Tower of London, officially known as Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London.

When should I go to Ireland and Scotland?

If you’re looking for the best things to do in the United Kingdom, you can’t miss the highlights of Northern Ireland and Scotland. See the iconic cities like Belfast, Glasgow and Edinburgh, then discover the spectacular landscapes. Marvel at the Giant’s Causeway, cross to the Isle of Skye, and explore the untamed beauty of the Scottish Highlands. And that’s just scratching the surface!

8 Incredible Walking Tours In England

• Activities and Interests
• Destinations
• Sightseeing
• United Kingdom

England is a walker’s paradise. With hills and valleys, lakes and mountains, moorland and coastlines, this country has some of the most breathtaking scenery, and the best way to see it is by walking. But aside from rambling the trails and tracks and stopping off for a pint in a country pub, there are also some incredible city walking tours and some interesting arts-based walks you can do. You can book organized tours with dedicated guides who know their area well, or you can be your own guide and take things at your own pace. To get you started, here are 8 incredible walking tours to try in England.

1. The Lake District — Literary Inspiration On A Grand Scale

This tour from Inntravel is the perfect introduction to walking in the Lake District National Park, an area of high fells and shimmering waters, and also home to a fascinating literary culture. Walkers stay in three high quality country inns, finishing in style at a four-star retreat in Grasmere. The trip begins on the shores of Windermere, England’s largest lake, where a circular route takes walkers toward Ambleside, the iconic Lakeside town, past Stockghyll Force, a waterfall that tumbles 21 meters (around 60 feet),  and to the summit of Wansfell Pike. 

After taking a boat across Windermere and crossing the fell to Hawkshead, home to an impressive collection of Beatrix Potter artwork, guests arrive in Coniston. From here, there is a choice of routes: a challenging hike to the summit of the Old Man of Coniston or a gentler, but equally scenic walk to Tarn Hows through coniferous woodland. The final base is Grasmere, reached by a walk past Cathedral Quarry, then more fell walks and time to visit Dove Cottage, the former home of William Wordsworth.

Pro Tip: Make sure you pick up some traditional Grasmere gingerbread from The Grasmere Gingerbread Shop. It’s unlike any other gingerbread you’ll ever taste — spicy and crumbly and completely unique.

2. England Coast To Coast

Wilderness England offers an accessible adventure for all on this 12-day trip that takes hikers from St. Bee’s Head on the shores of the Irish Sea to Robin Hood’s Bay, crisscrossing three of northern England’s National Parks and covering 128 miles on foot. Beginning in the Lake District, guests will hike through Ennerdale Forest and Honister Pass, visit Wordsworth’s house in Grasmere before taking a steamship journey across Ullswater. Heading next into the Yorkshire Dales, there are stops in charming villages such as Gunnerside and Ravenstonedale and hikes through the rolling scenery of Swaledale. The third and final National Park is the North York Moors where, after hikes in the brilliantly named Great Fryup and Blakely Ridge, the group arrives at the North Sea. This is quite a hike, so it’s only suitable for experienced walkers.

3. The Cotswolds Way

The Cotswolds is an area of England that needs no introduction. The chocolate box charm of its honey-hued villages and its rolling scenery is famous the world over. Walkers on this self-guided trip that follows the 102 miles of the Cotswolds Way , perhaps England’s prettiest long-distance trail, will see plenty of the Cotswolds as expected, but also another side of this area, too. Walkers will stride past Belas Knap, a 5000-year-old Neolithic burial chamber, follow old tramway routes, and see the remains of antique limestone kilns and quarries. Beginning in the medieval town of Chipping Campden, home to an incredible 256 historic buildings, the route will wind south over nine days before finishing in the regency city of Bath.

4. Bespoke Walking Tours With The Gainsborough Bath Spa

The Gainsborough Bath Spa has partnered with The Bath Tour Guide, creating bespoke (custom) tours. Choose from two-hour strolls taking in the top highlights or daylong adventures uncovering the city’s secrets. Literary buffs can rejoice with a specialized Jane Austen book tour and Bridgerton fans can marvel at Bath’s Georgian splendor while admiring the Bath Assembly Rooms where parts of the hit lockdown series were filmed. For something a little more unconventional, the Laugh at Bath tour ensures a light-hearted and comedic walk through Bath’s history with a mischievous tour guide, Jamie. 

After a year of separation, an uplifting comedy walking tour is a great chance to catch up on some overdue amusement. Guests will be picked up from the hotel to embark on a journey through the city, exploring famous sights and landmarks, from beautiful Bath Abbey to the iconic Royal Crescent. Led by experienced guides, families, and friends can uncover hidden gems and lesser-known delights, so even locals might find a new favorite corner of this stunning Somerset city.

Pro Tip: Be sure to try out the Thermae Spa while you’re in Bath. With a rooftop mineral pool, naturally warm, aroma steam rooms, celestial relaxation room, and a generous ice room, it’s the perfect way to spend a couple of hours in the city of the spa.

5. London Food, Fashion, And Photography Walks

Join East Londoner Simon as he guides groups around the iconic markets of London. Choose one or more markets from Camden, Borough, Brick Lane, Portobello Road or Columbia Road, or Simon’s very own Hackney market. Along the way, groups will meet the locals and get an insight into true market life in London. Visit historical spots to hear local history, from Shakespeare to WWII to today, spot some street art, stop for coffee and get under the skin of the area in a way only a tour with a local can. You can also enjoy a unique view of London with a private night photography tour . Capture London’s famous landmarks in the evening light, from the iconic London Bridge to the tallest building in the city, The Shard. 

Expert guide Andrei is a professional photographer and enjoys sharing his knowledge and tips from street photography to architecture and abstract. Practice different photo techniques, including long exposure and for beginners, learn how to expose, compose and set the camera settings for the best results. Other photography locations include Borough Market, the City Hall, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and Millennium Bridge.

6. Go Foraging In Falmouth With An Expert Local Guide

Learn to identify the tastiest and most nutritious edible plants, from delicious seaweeds to bright summer berries and the freshest young spring greens. Zoe, a guide on the Tours By Locals platform will give an introductory talk at Swanpool before ambling to the woods, fields, and hedges to spend a few hours collecting a diversity of local seasonal wild food. Take a walk along the beach and out to the rocks by Blue Flag Gyllyngvase Beach and collect some of the tastiest seaweed in Cornwall, then sit down and enjoy your foraging feast. This is a lovely, gentle walk, suitable for all fitness levels, with a focus on foraging and enjoying the area, rather than distance. 

7. Plymouth Walking Tour

From the classic 1950s architecture of the rebuilt city to the scenic grandeur of the expanse of the Hoe, Plymouth never fails to surprise visitors. The walking tour showcases the expanse of Plymouth Hoe and the old medieval town, while also taking in the views across the waters of the Sound which is soon going to be the first UK marine park. The tour is hosted by local guide, Chrissie , who has been a Blue Badge Tourist Guide in England’s southwest for many years.

Pro Tip: Don’t miss a tour of the Plymouth Gin Distillery , one of the oldest distilleries in the country, where you’ll find out how gin is made and you’ll get the chance to taste some. For more ideas of things to do in the city by the sea, take a look at Best Things To Do In Historic Plymouth, England, The City By The Sea .

8. North Downs Way Arts Trail

The North Downs Way Art Trail is designed to entice visitors to stop, rest and enjoy some of the beautiful views along the 153-mile-long trail which runs from Dover in Kent to Farnham in Surrey. The trail and the artworks will all reflect the special characteristics of each beautiful location, and are all made from sustainable materials, and will also act as sculptural seats to allow visitors a chance to sit, reflect and relax while being surrounded by wonderful and inspiring art, history and nature. In addition, each piece will be supported by a range of downloadable self-guided walking routes that will make visiting the sites even easier.

p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 40.0px Lora; color: #24252a} What our customers say…

I can honestly say that it was the best vacation of my life! We loved every minute of it and with your planning it went without a hitch! We did manage to get turned around twice during the walk, which we put down to our own error by misreading the map instructions, but were easily able to get back on track. All of the accommodations provided friendly owners, great breakfasts and locations.

We just came back from a 4 day hiking trip of the Cotswolds Triangle. We had a fantastic time! Everything was very well organised and attention was paid to every single detail (e.g. luggage tags, a plastic cover for our booklet with directions, good suggestions for wining and dining). Communication with the company leading up to our trip, also went very smoothly. I would definitely use Cotswolds Walks again and would highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to explore the beautiful Cotswolds.

We all agreed that we had a wonderful time in the Cotswolds and thank you so much for making it a very special holiday.  Our days were planned so well and it was nice to have everything taken care of ahead of time for us.  You live in a special part of the world and it was a great experience to visit it.  A big thank you to Robert as well - such a pleasure to walk around with him for a couple of days.

My wife and I were initially circumspect for the need of such detail your guide provided and we laughed at the thought and at some of the guide’s vocabulary, but a chance meeting with an American couple the night before our first day on the Walk quickly dispelled any doubt. They had just used your services for their Walk and said to follow the guide and we wouldn’t go wrong. We did, and they were right! Again, thank you for taking good care of us.

The north faqs.

The Lake District is in the North West of England, with rugged mountains (fells), dramatic lakes (meres) and deep valleys formed by Ice Age glaciers. It contains England’s highest mountain, and deepest lake, and is both a National Park and a World Heritage Site, in recognition of its natural wild beauty and cultural significance, having inspired generations of poets, writers and artists.

Northumberland is a county in North East England, and lies on the England-Scotland border. It is home to one of the most picturesque and untouched stretches of coastline in the United Kingdom along with rolling hills and gentle mountains.

The best way to travel up North is by train, approximately a 4 hour direct journey from London Paddington to The Lake District (Penrith) and Northumberland (Newcastle Train Station).

All of our self-guided trips begin from the Lake District. We can also arrange pre and post accommodation at a range of different locations so you can arrive relaxed, refreshed and ready to start your tour. You can also fly into Manchester and transfer to the start of the tour from there.

Alternatively we can arrange a private transfer for you from London – the drive is approximately 5 hours. 

The North of England is hillier than many of the other regions of England. However the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales have a variety of routes which makes the regions great walking country and suitable for those who are moderately fit and active. There are many hills, fells and moors but the incredible views from the top more than make up from the ascents! However, you will be able to miss out some of the steeper inclines – or add in some hillier walks for those looking to stretch their legs. There are routes for everyone and we can tailor your tour to your specific preferences.

The Ridgeway Hiking Tours

The ridgeway.

• Walk the ancient landscapes of the Ridgeway through the heart of England
• Visit Avebury Henge & Stone Circle, one of Europe's largest Neolithic monuments
• Stay in charming towns and attractive villages such as Goring
• Discover the mystery of the White Horse on the Oxfordshire hills
• Meet the locals in one of the traditional English pubs

Set off on the Ridgeway, 'Britain's oldest road', in the rolling countryside of Southern England, just a short journey away from London. Originally a trade route, these paths were frequented by farmers, soldiers and traders as long as 5000 years ago. Follow uncrowded paths, tranquil forests and visit distinctive historic sites.

This walk crosses two distinct landscapes that have been designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  Unwind in the open and remote landscape of The North Wessex Downs (AONB) as you walk through quiet woodland.  Visit quaint villages with thatched cottages and spot wildlife in the chalk grassland of The Chilterns (AONB). Meet the locals in one of the traditional English pubs where a refreshing beverage awaits. 

Macs Adventure has been organising the Ridgeway walking itineraries since 2010. Over the last decade, we have established great relationships with the family-run guesthouses, B&Bs and small hotels along the way where a scrumptious breakfast is guaranteed. Enjoy the ease of having your luggage moved for you, allowing you to walk with a light backpack. Simply pick an itinerary and we take care of all the arrangements for you!

Featured Tours - The Ridgeway

The Ridgeway - 10 Days & 9 Nights

The Ridgeway - 8 Days & 7 Nights

Discover the ridgeway.

Travellers have been using the Ridgeway for well over 5000 years; early humans, Danes, Saxons, Romans and even King Alfred the Great. Here are some of the hidden gems along the way. 

West Kennett Long Barrow - Although not officially on the route, across from the official start of the Ridgeway you can find one of the largest Neolithic chambered tombs in Britain. It is recognised as a World Heritage Site where roughly 50 people were buried. 

Avebury - Aside from the main attraction Avebury Henge & Stone Circle, which is said to be one of the best-preserved henges in the country, it's worth visiting St James Church too. The earliest parts of the church date from AD1000 and the Saxons were careful to not build it too close to the stone circles as they feared their magical powers. 

Wiltshire White Horses -  Wiltshire is famous for the mysterious White Horses carved into hillsides, there are eight in total and you could walk 90 miles to see them all. The most well-known one is the White Horse of Uffington, but the Hackpen White Horse is not to be forgotten about. From here you can enjoy panoramic views to the Wessex Downs. 

Wayland Smithy - Built around 2800BC and dating back to the Neolithic area this chambered long barrow is a historic site. It was believed to be the home of 'Wayland', the Saxon god of metalworking. Human remains found on the site indicated that 14 people were interred here. 

Iron Age Hillforts - Typical for the Bronze and Iron Ages are hillforts, of which Barbury Castle and Uffington Castle are great examples. It has been estimated that it would take roughly 150 men about 4 months to establish an eight-acre enclosure. These rare forts are ancient earthworks steeped in mystery!

Goring - Streatley and Goring are the first residential areas that the Ridgeway path winds through and provides a real change of scenery. The path comes alongside the River Thames followed by woodland walking. Goring Gap is a narrow valley separating the Berkshire Downs and the Chiltern Hills - perhaps stop in one of the local pubs for a celebratory 'half-way' pint.

Just like the trail, some of our everyday phrases have a long history. Here are some common phrases and their origin!

• “To call a spade a spade” – This phrase is believed to have first been used by ancient Greeks who preferred speaking plainly: “to call figs figs, and a tub a tub”.
• “Crocodile tears” – During medieval times, some believed that crocodiles shed tears of sadness when killing their prey. The phrase found its way into Shakespeare’s writing as early as the 16th century.
• “The apple of my eye” – An Old English phrase that was first used by King Alfred the Great (AD 885) in Anglo-Saxon England.
• “To play devil’s advocate” – Established in the early 16 th century this was a popular title given by Pope Leo X to those arguing against the Roman Catholic church. 

• It is a great introduction to long-distance walking  as the trail is considered one of the easiest National Trails. Although there are some steep hills, walking the route is generally easy-going.
• The route is well waymarked throughout and maintained to a high level, making this a very enjoyable walking experience.
• One of the joys of walking in this part of the UK is the charming English villages of the Thames Valley near Goring. Experience a traditional English cream tea in one of the local tea rooms or enjoy browsing the small shops.
• The trail is easily accessible from London and has great transport links. It is around an hour and a half travelling time to get to Avebury, via Swindon and on the way home, Tring connects back to London Euston station in 40 minutes. 
• Step back in history, which this trail is most famous for . Explore the wealth of historical sites along the route which will keep you entertained as you walk along. 
• This trail offers uncrowded paths and tranquil landscapes in the English countryside. Unlike some other parts of England, this area doesn't see the same amount of tourism, making it a truly refreshing experience.

Guided Walking Holidays

A guided walking holiday is ideal for travellers who prefer the camaraderie of like-minded walkers from around the world and appreciate the local knowledge shared by expert local guides.

Your walking guide is with you from the time your walking holiday commences until it concludes. They work tirelessly to tailor the trip to your interests while also ensuring your holiday runs smoothly for the whole group. Their passion for their country, or the region you are walking through, helps bring to life the flora, fauna and history of their homelands.

Depending on the chosen trip, group sizes generally vary from 6 to 22 people, and somewhat larger on boat based departures. On a guided walking tour in the UK and Europe, travelling in a small group does not mean your experience is tied to the rest of the group. There is time to go off exploring on your own.

On a guided walking tour you’ll share memories and laughs with travellers around the world who also appreciate the benefits of exploring the UK and Europe by foot.

The Cotswolds

The Cotswolds is an area of gentle hills, but with a maximum altitude of just over one thousand feet, walking here is within the reach of almost anyone. Yet, those same hills mean that wonderful, dramatic views are possible with comparatively little effort – views down to gem-like villages, and across valleys and plains to the Black Mountains in Wales, the Malvern Hills and the Forest of Dean, another beautiful part of Gloucestershire beyond the River Severn.

"Hi Ann and Chris,

Just had to contact you to say the holiday in the Cotswolds was fantastic. The accomodation was all very good - the Broadway Hotel and the Redesdale (Morton) were exceptional.

I was also amazed how efficient the taxis were for ourselves and the luggage. Your directions (maps etc.) were so easy to follow and we felt we could relax all the time. So, thanks so much for all the effort which must have gone into the organisation, we really appreciate it.

Kind regards"

"Hi Ann / Chris,

Chris, we had a wonderful time. A few notes are attached with minor suggestions about directions. The snafu over lodging in Winchcombe was handled gracefully, and we think the Lion and Wesley House were actually a step up from the White Hart. We found excellent evening dining options along the way, and pub lunches were always available enroute.

Trust your wife and baby are doing well.

Best regards"

Just a quick note to say thanks immensely for everything. The maps, routes and information was a great help to making our visit to the Cotswolds a very enjoyable experience.

Best Regards"

J.M, United Kingdom
