Stonehenge, Bath & Wiltshire

Custom made and crafted walking

Your walking holiday/vacation will be customised to suit your requirements and the English season. You can start your inn to inn tour on any day / date (subject to availability) and stay for 6 nights or 8 nights. We recommend booking early as our trips are popular and availability at our small country inns, limited.

Trail highlights include:

• Marvel at the wonder that is Stonehenge. Many say that a visit to our region is incomplete without it.
• Explore the Avon Valley, taking in aqueducts, mills and an undulating landscape.
• Walk paths of breath taking Wiltshire countryside. Settle down for a ploughman’s lunch with bread baked that morning, proper butter, Wiltshire ham and west country cheeses.
• Be spoiled with traditional English fair in your personally selected accommodation.
• Bath. It would be a travesty to visit the West Country and miss the city. At every corner you are treated to spectacular architecture and it really is a special place to happen upon having enjoyed the treats of the surrounding countryside.

About the accommodations

One of the reasons guests choose Foot Trails is for our choice and quality of accommodation.

Largely independently and privately owned, we enjoy a close and strong working partnership with all of our country inns. Small, personal and friendly with excellent hospitality, each country inn sits in an English village with comfortable bedrooms and delicious local food and produce including real ales and a selection of wines to enjoy with dinner after your walk.

Enjoy a hand picked, gorgeous independently owned small hotel in Bath. Central, so that you can enjoy all that Bath has to offer, yet tucked away in a quiet residential area of the city. The old Georgian buildings of the hotel date from 1717 and the hotel offers a small boutique style and lots of warm character. No two bedrooms are the same and they have all been furnished to be relaxing and comfortable. And of course each has its own en-suite bathroom. As the hotel owner Lawrence puts it “We think these rooms should make you feel perfectly at home, yet utterly indulged, all at the same time.”

You’ll also stay in a 17th & 18th century former coaching inn, which sits in a pretty Wiltshire village. It once served horses, carriages and their drivers, bringing post down from London to Exeter, it now has individually styled country bedrooms, timber beams and character. Some bedrooms even have their own small gardens.
