Independent walking trips

You won't find yourself walking amongst the hordes on an Independent Foot Trail. Quiet trails and sleepy tracks reveal little know delights such as a Cotswolds Roman villa, ancient Somerset battle field, an historic Wiltshire cottage that stood in the crusades or a delightful village that most visitors won't know even exists.

The leisurely lunch stops in proper country pubs are greatly enjoyed as part of the experience. They certainly beat a packed sandwich that has rattled for several hours around your bag! And on some trails you can stop at the village shop or deli to pick up delicious goodies for an alfresco picnic. What could be more tasty!

Foot Trails team walk routes and visit village inns regularly. You will receive great care to ensure that you have everything you could wish to know at your fingertips, with your own tailored walk pack before you arrive. Local Ordnance Survey maps are a must, along with waterproof trail cards for those who prefer not to map read.

Your own tailored holiday planner and recommended lunch spots are compiled in great detail and you'll receive the lowdown on the must know local nature, wildlife, historical sights, local stories and legends.
