Spectacular walking holidays personally conducted by highly experienced local guides Martin, Rachael and Paul.

Since 1988 we have shared Cornwall's Wild Celtic charm with thousands of guests from all over the world. Many of them have told us that Cornwall is one of the most beautiful places they have ever explored on foot.

Our detailed knowledge of the local micro climates enable us to select the best areas to explore, so you can immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquility of the Cornish scenery and wildlife.

Saturnia hot pools - a break from walking!This tour will take you to the real heart of Tuscany. From the coast of the Tyrrhenean Sea, up past the famous and unique tufa villages of Pitigliano, Sorano and Sovanna, by the extinct volcano Mont Amiata and the truly incredible volcanic and circular lake Lago Bolsena, through the beautiful Val D'Orcia and the unique Crete - all the way to the ancient and atmospheric towns of Montalcino and Siena.

The May tour wil be guided by myself and Luca Panaro, an experienced guide and geologist from Pisa - and in October, with my good friend Dr Goffredo Filibeck, a professor of Botany at Viterbo University.

An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

A week of hugely varied walking in the enchanting Cotswolds - based in Egypt Mill, a beautiful converted 16th century wollen mill in the charming small town of Nailsworth near Stroud and Regency Cheltenham.

July is always a wonderful time of the year in England; the wild flowers are at their vibrant best and the fields and hedgerows are abundantly adorned with colour - and all the pretty Cotswolds honey-coloured cottages are smothered in climbing roses and honeysuckle. And hopefully, all under clear blue skies in bright warm sunshine too!

Within the Cotswold region, (Gloucestershire and parts of Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire), there are well known gems that should not be missed, but there are also places that have remained hidden to all but the locals and visitors who seek out the rather less touristy places. We know where to find them - and look forward to sharing them with you.

Over the years, we have visited this beautiful region many times and have discovered that although it is a very popular tourist destination, it is still possible to take beautiful scenic and historic walks where you don’t often meet other walkers.

Some of the finest coastal walking in the world on a unique archipelago of beautiful islands 28 miles off-shore from Lands End, West Cornwall.  

2012 dates: August 20th - 27th.  Books up early... please plan ahead.

This holiday has been featured by the renowned travel writer Nick Haslam in The Times Online - Read it here (requires Sunday Times subscription).

Walking and exploring these island’s unique ambience, landscapes, wildlife and archaeology - with the best seascapes in the western world! Also really great swimming and top notch cuisine.

The Scilly Isles are an exquisite archipelago of about 100 granite islets, many un-inhabited - but some five with permanent populations. We shall stay on St Mary’s (the largest - some 12 miles in circumference) and we will use the wonderful passenger launches to access a different island each day.

We shall walk on St Mary’s, St Agnes, Bryher, Tresco, St Martins and perhaps the un-inhabited island of Samson.These islands are composed of granite and they do not have any high hills - the highest point being only 150 feet above sea level. However, there are still spectacular granite headlands with cliffs some 100 feet high. On most of the islands there are numerous white sand beaches and incredibly eroded granite outcrops - with a face on every one!
