Crowd-free hiking in South West England

At Foot Trails, we avoid the crowds. When we plan a new trail, we start with where David and I would like to show you and then design our route around this. Guiding you to beautiful villages, stunning views, country houses and more. To the places you’d never find on your own.

Two figures are walking on a footpath between an opening in a hedge. It is a misty winter's day.

Exploring these quieter paths unveils an England that others miss: authentic, peaceful and beautiful. Away from the crowds, you can go at your own pace, stop and stare, truly experience a place rather than just moving through it. In the peace and quiet, with none of the distractions of modern-day life, you can talk, connect or just simply enjoy the sound of birdsong and the wind rustling through the trees.

Guided by printed our trail guides, you’ll stop for lunch at tucked-away inns, cafes and village shops. And in the evenings, relax, refresh and refuel at a local inn, centuries old and at the heart of its community.
