"Dear Alison,
We just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you so much for organising our honeymoon. It was so magical. The walks were fantastic, the food was divine and the accommodation was heavenly. We couldn't have had a more perfect time. The Cotswolds is such an amazing place, and somewhere we have explored before but thanks to David's wonderful walks, we felt that we were seeing it with fresh eyes. Foot Trails really don't put a foot wrong!
PS – Attached is a photo of me just after I fell in a muddy puddle."

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.
Of course it´s your holiday, and this is only a suggestion. 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.
Walks are available of either 5 to 7 miles or up to 10 miles.
