On each of our walking holidays you will be based in a comfortable room in a traditional upland hamlet, village or town, from where you can quickly become part of the local way of life and truly connect with your environment. Choose from a range of carefully researched self-guided walks to suit all fitness levels: walk as much or as little as you like each day. From half hour strolls to full day hikes, the choice is yours: where you walk, how long you walk for, or whether you wish to walk at all! You may prefer to relax in the stunning scenery and picnic beside crystal clear streams amongst meadows of wildflowers, to spend a day or two exploring on bicycles instead of on foot, to enjoy local activities such as canoeing or horse riding, or to take off in your carbon-offset hire car (included in all independent walking holidays except in Wales) to explore.
On most Escapes, you will also benefit from the support and company of our locally based Upland Managers, who will be on hand to help you really get the most from your walking holiday. On Original & Original Car-Free Escapes they will also prepare a lavish deli-style packed lunch for you every day and accompany you on 3 organised walks a week, sharing their local knowledge along the way.
The Upland Escapes formula is so flexible that it suits everyone, whatever type of walking holiday you are looking for. Whether you are travelling with a partner or alone, with children or with a party of friends, seeking a healthy holiday to de-stress or to improve your fitness, wanting the freedom of a hire-car or to avoid the need to drive, we are confident that Upland Escapes can provide the perfect solution.
Simply choose which of our Uplands you would like to Escape to, when you would like to go, and for how long. Decide whether you’d prefer the simplicity and low cost of our No-Frills walking holidays, or the additional extras such as a delicious packed lunch and organised walks to join included in our Original Escapes. Then enjoy the true freedom of a completely flexible walking holiday spent at your own pace, relaxing and revitalizing in the way that suits you best.
