Inn to inn walking holidays

Foot Trails are one of England’s best loved regional walking travel companies.

Not many can customise a self guided walk to the degree Foot Trails can.

Why? We’ve originated and created every trail ourselves. So we know it inside out. Plus you can speak to the person who created the trail. This enables us to plan things to suit you. From versatile walk lengths, to a custom itinerary, include rest days, arrange transfer and mix areas giving you anything from a 3 night short break to a 3 week trip. Each crafted to suit you.

Quick Summary

Inn to Inn walking is:

  • Linear walking with a sense of journey
  • Start at one point and finish further on
  • Walk from village to village, spending two nights at each country inn on route. Intentional to explore deeper and with no need to keep unpacking. Your luggage is transported ahead.
  • Trails originated by Foot Trails in-house team of walking connoisseurs.

 

More detail …

  • Inn to Inn takes you off the beaten track and away from typical tourist trails
    These trails do not follow the national trails, some of which see hundreds of thousands of people a year
  • Every trail has been personally researched and created by Foot Trails Alison and David Howell
  • Using years of research and local expertise you can enjoy stunning views, peaceful countryside, interesting villages, historic sites and unearth the stories, histories and nature of the South West’s stunning landscapes, away from crowds

On route you’ll stay in our hand picked country inns and accommodation.

And you’ll find your way with the assistance and support of both our innovative trail cards with step by step word directions and our local maps. Both are produced by Foot Trails team on special waterproof paper.
