"Few experiences in England enjoy such a unique blend of peace, natural beauty and authenticity." Alison & David Howell |
About Foot TrailsA walking trip which journeyed from France's north coast to the Mediterranean 3 months later, inspired the concepts of Foot Trails. That was 1995, and the people who walked all that way were myself and my husband David. Foot Trails began humbly several years later in the spare room of our house! David researched and wrote the walking trails, I scoured the south west for country inns with creature comforts (such a contrast to our two-man tent and calor gas stove!) and we welcomed our first guests. We had little idea then how much the reputation of the company would grow and how guests from around the world would travel to England to explore with Foot Trails. Today Foot Trails is an award-winning company, specialising in walking trips with creature comforts in south west England. Our guests choose us for our personal service, meticulous attention to detail, great country inns and luxurious country house hotels and of course for our unique walking experiences which are all still researched and designed by David. Walking means different things to each one of us. For some it is an escape, time out, peace and quiet! We all lead busy lives these days and nothing gives the sense of freedom that being out in the elements provides. For others being close to nature is important and certainly our seasonal walks ensure that you are in the right places at as near the right time as we can plan, for you to enjoy nature's best displays of flowers and wildlife. With small friendly guided groups of up to ten guests and self-guided trails that are well and truly off the beaten track, our walking holidays and experiences are such a contrast from crowded coach trips and mass tourism. Holidays and short breaks are precious and south west England is a wonderful place to enjoy them. In a world of fast, immediate and instant, we strive to be enjoyably paced, steady and enduring. Best wishes, Alison and David Howell |
