The road more travelled: our most popular holidays on UK walking paths

Ramble Worldwide | Mon 06 Dec 2021

If you’d like to have a holiday with a clearly defined goal, you might like to try one of our guided walks along one of the UK’s walking paths. 


As with any walking holiday with Ramble Worldwide, you’ll be led by an expert guide, who will make sure you get the most of the experience. You’ll see some stunning views and fascinating new places. And you’re sure to make some new friends too. 


Your accommodation is included. On some holidays you stay in one place, in which case we’ll transport you to your new start point each day, and take you back at the end. In others, you stay in a new place each night; we’ll take your luggage to each new hotel, so you only have to walk with a day bag. Easy!
