South Wiltshire is a place of ancient and dramatic landscapes. It is silhouetted with the outline of curvaceous chalk downs dotted with atmospheric medieval villages where wood smoke furls from ancient chimney pots and grand country estates. Man first settled here 5000 years ago and the history and stories are vast.
With our local knowledge this walking holiday will help you explore this secret corner of Britain. Step back in time. Enjoy Capability Brown´s spectacular landscapes. Discover the landscapes frequented by Alfred the Great and the Saxons. Soak up centuries of history from the Neolithic to the Iron-age to the Medieval.
With an independent Foot Trail I can give you a self guided walking holiday that's created just for you. Whether you are travelling by train or car, have 3 days or two weeks, or if you would like to walk 5 miles or 10 miles, we will create your ideal walking holiday using local knowledge and rural England expertise.

Included in your walking holiday
We suggest you arrive on your first day, perhaps enjoy lunch and a short few miles walk to explore your area, before dinner and a good nights sleep.
The superior country inn where you will stay at will have a great restaurant and delicious menu for dinner. A bottle of wine is included in your holiday.
Your holiday includes for you one day of independent walking for each night that you stay. Stay 3 nights and enjoy 3 days walking for example.
We give you a suggested departure time each morning (leisurely!) to ensure you arrive at the pub on route in time for lunch. We either provide directions to the start of your walk by car ( 10 – 15 minutes) or if you are car free we provide a transport drop off service, or you may be walking from the door.
Finding your way is easy. You will have received your personalised walk pack a week before your arrival. If you don´t map read don´t worry. We do include proper Ordnance survey maps with your trails clearly marked for guests who map read, or why not give it a go. We also include robust waterproof trail cards. These provide easy to follow step by step directions. Just like having a guide telling where to go. They also include stories and histories to help you find out about the area.
Accommodation and breakfast is included in your holiday. A bottle of wine is provided. Half board options with dinner are also available.
