A walking holiday planned around you

We’re a family-run specialist arranging self-guided walking holidays since 1997. Tell us how you like to walk: perhaps an extra night somewhere, a rest day halfway through, a double or twin room, your own room for part of the trip, or a little more comfort on a rest day. We know the routes and the places to stay, and we’ll always do what we can to shape the holiday around you.

"All of the Celtic Trails service package is excellent, thank you for a wonderful experience! The daily mileages were just right and all the hosts were all superb especially Diane at Scotch Arms (Brampton) and Kate and Ian at The Old School House (Haltwhistle) where they exceeded even 4 star hotel service quality. Outstanding detailed instructions, all accomodations are of a high quality and the luggage transfers all take place properly. The hike had just the right degree of physical challenge."

THE CELTIC TRAILS DIFFERENCE

From the paths you tread to the beds you sleep in, nothing is left to chance.

We plan your walking holiday in detail, so you don’t have to.

We arrange the accommodation, breakfast, luggage transfers and route information, and shape the itinerary around how you want to walk. You follow the route independently, at your own pace.

What We Offer


Find the walk that fits

With more than 70 routes across the British Isles and Europe, you can choose from full long-distance trails, shorter sections and short breaks, through coast, countryside and mountain landscapes.

Each walk sets out the distance, terrain and difficulty clearly, so you can compare routes and find the pace and challenge that feel right for you.

A comfortable place to end the day

Where you stay matters after a day on foot. We arrange comfortable B&Bs, guesthouses, inns and farmhouses along the route, with breakfast each morning.

We take care over the accommodation as well as the walking, so there’s somewhere comfortable waiting at the end of each day.
