A once in a lifetime experience
Your trip to the UK might be a once in a lifetime experience. Or perhaps you cherish the thought of being able to see as much of the South West region as possible. You’ll need the best local expertise to do it justice and our South West Explorer (featured in press worldwide) will help you to discover the very best of South West England.
The South West is the largest and most varied of England’s nine different regions. We know the region inside out, having lived and worked here for over 2 decades innovating award winning walking experiences.
We will work closely and personally with you to create your own custom made walking tour between 15 and 21 nights. Your trip could include walking in up to six of the region’s counties, Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset, The Cotswolds, Bath and Devon.
Be prepared for a little adventure. Longer grasses in summer, a little overgrown in places may sometimes apply, but your efforts will be richly rewarded with sights of villages, landscapes, secret views and country inns that most visitors simply never see.
