Is Autumn a good time to walk in England?

We are often asked this question. Autumn (or fall) draws in from early September to early November. It is a

Always take a British weather forecast with a pinch of salt! It’s a very British saying which means you can’t

From across the Somerset levels this iconic monume

From across the Somerset levels this iconic monument draws you, Glastonbury Tor. A natural hill amongst the marshes the tower is all that remains of a 14th century chapel. But the hill has likely drawn people for millennia, a sacred place.

To walk here across the land, unhurried, glimpses of the tor as you journey ever closer is a remarkable experience, and just one of the days on our Myths & Legends walking holiday.

An empty street in Bath, always fun to imagine the different people that have stepped out of these front doors over the centuries. Finishing a Foot Trail with a few days in Bath is something many of our guests choose to do. With walks to explore the heritage, and into the country beyond the city there's much to discover.

It's a soft day here in the West Country so looking back on my walk the Saturday just gone. This wisteria clad cottage is out on the Somerset Levels, an ancient and mysterious land you can explore on our Myths & Legends Foot Trail.

A few of our walking trails crisscross the Kennet

A few of our walking trails crisscross the Kennet & Avon canal with its colourful barges and relaxed pace. When the canal was built in the 18th century it would have been a very different scene as an army of barges carried goods between Bristol & London.

These three stones are known as the 'Whispering Kn

These three stones are known as the 'Whispering Knights' and I've always loved the way they look huddled together, backs turned, whispering. They formed part of a burial chamber built nearly 6000 years ago. One of the joys of walking the English landscape are the histories and legends you discover along the way.

It's been a lively weather day here in SW England. Joyfully the sun is shining as we head into the evening.

In the evening light last week I ventured to the border of Wiltshire & Dorset to clear an overgrown path. The quiet as I worked was wonderful, not a mechanised sound to be heard except the snip of my cutters. The view was great too! 🖼️

Collecting some of our guests at the end of the trail today, from this lovely spot. It's the second day on their 12 night 'Landscapes & Seascapes of Dorset' adventure. Thought I would get here early and enjoy a wander myself!
