Welcome to Walking.Holiday
Walking Holidays in the South of England
We specialise in self-guided Walking Holidays in the South of England. We offer the following walks:
- Thames Path National Trail
- Ridgeway National Trail
- Chiltern Ramble: Deep Woods & Rolling Hills – a 30 mile 3 day walk that we have specially created through the South Chilterns to explore what is possibly one of the most beautiful and unspoilt corners of England.
This year (2024) we will be launching the Camino Ingles, the English leg of the route that pilgrims historically took from Reading Abbey to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The leg finishes in Southampton where, traditionally, pilgrims would have embarked on boats to take them to Coruna in northern Spain. The two legs (English and Spanish) are official Caminos and qualify for a Compostela (certificate).
The Thames Path National Trail
A 181 mile walk starting in the Cotswolds, through historic towns of Oxford and Windsor, and dramatically ending in the heart of London
The Ridgeway National Trail
An 87 mile walk through the Berkshire Downs and into the Chilterns. It is described as “Britain’s oldest road”.
Camino Ingles
A 69 mile pilgrimage walk from Reading Abbey to Southampton taking in the ancient town of Winchester.
What sets us apart from other walking holiday companies?
- We are local. We know the area and have walked the routes. Which is why we only offer walking holidays in the south of England.
- We remain in contact with you throughout your walk. Usually you will get to meet us some time during your walk
- We do not outsource bag transfers to taxi firms. We move your bags so that we are in touch with both you and the accommodations.
- Although we have some suggested itineraries, you are not confined to any of these. Our longer walks (Thames Path and Ridgeway) use our innovative route planners where you can plan your own route: choose where to stay, how long to walk, and in which direction. We can also create custom itineraries.
