Is there anything finer than ambling through villages in South West England on a perfect summer's day?

Not too long now and the gardens (and countryside) of South West England will be bursting with life and colour. Summer is around the corner, and we can't wait for the long, warm days of walking and hiking through villages, fields and woodlands ☀️

Wild garlic is everywhere on forest floors at the moment, and the delicate white blooms are just starting to emerge, creating a wonderful tapestry of green and white. Even more reason to be out and about in the countryside of South West England.

Walking along quiet country lanes, under blue skies. Past wonderful thatched cottages and daffodils nodding gently in the breeze. We love walking these routes ourselves and sharing them with our guests.

Quiet moments from this morning down by river. Jus

Quiet moments from this morning down by river. Just the sound of water and echoing birdsong. This is what walking and hiking means to us. The chance to slow our natural pace and feel a sense of freedom.

The pace of walking allows time for us to observe the world, to enliven our senses with the sights and sounds of nature, to feel free, and engage with 1000s of years of human history.

It’s a simple pleasure that’s richly rewarding.

Tranquil moments from one of the trails in our portfolio of Cotswolds walking and hiking holidays. Signs of spring were everywhere, most noticeably in the presence of lambs in so many of the fields we walked through 🐑

The blossom and leaves are starting to emerge on the trees here in the South West, bringing the countryside back to life and colour. But there's also a stark beauty to bare trees in winter. Here are a couple of shots of a dramatic tree during one of our walks in Wiltshire this winter. I think it has a beauty all of its own.

The blossom on trees isn't the only indicator of spring being well and truly underway. The bright yellow gorse flowers here on the coast in South West England are also a sure sign that the seasons are changing. A beautiful contrast with the bright blue sky 😊
