Private & Personalized guided tours in South West England

Our guide, David Howell has gained trust and respect for his work from both his guests and the travel industry. He has been described as a story teller, a walker and an explorer - but his passion for rural England and the wonderfully varied walking routes he creates bring a sense of fun, adventure and discovery to those he meets.

Through a private guided tour David's aim is to inspire you in rural England, using his expertise and local knowledge to show you little known places, unspoilt villages and the sort of gorgeous places that lie far from tourist tracks, the sort you might never find on your own. He researches and puts his own routes together, testing them out before taking guests to iron out anything that needs ironing out.

David has a passion for Stonehenge and on his private tours of Stonehenge David can take you awauy from the crowds and into the wider landscape, linking the countryside. David has walked extensively and knows all the best places for private tours on the Dorset Coast, The Cotswolds, the city of Bath, Salisbury and the countryside around.

David's guiding style is relaxed and informal, making his walks more like a story with little snippets and legends to listen too as you walk along. His walking is at an enjoyable pace where soaking up the scenery and views is possible. No route marching!

David, aged 40, grew up in the Cotswolds and walked from a young age, when it was means to simply get around the local area. His knowledge and expertise of rural South West England would be extremely hard to beat.

"Thank you, Alison. We enjoyed our trip immensely. David really went above and beyond all expectations and was so nice."

"Dear Alison and David, Both Audna and I can't thank you enough for organizing such a wonderful trip. We really enjoyed every minute. The walking was so refreshing and David paced us with care so it was just enough every day. The pubs for lunch were fun and very appropriate.
We loved seeing the local churches and hearing David's descriptions of them. Hearing the local village history made all the towns and villages come alive. David knows every people and blade of grass in the Cotswold! We know this was all very last minute so we are ever the more appreciative. If all goes as planned, we will see you again next year!"

"Dear David and Alison,
We are basking in the afterglow of our wonderful time with you in Somerset and Wiltshire. We enjoyed some golden weekend days in London, then flew back to our workaday lives in Florida, still picturing one of the most memorable holidays we've ever had.
All of the arrangements made by Foot Trails were superb, and efficiently done. David's guidance and companionship on the walks gave depth and meaning to the sights we saw. The choice of trails and scenery was inspired. We can't say enough about the excellence of Foot Trails and the perfection of our holiday with you. Many, many thanks"
Ervin and Julia
