Journeys 2025
We are delighted to publish our exciting new programme for 2025 with journeys to Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. Please don't forget to contact the leaders before you book, to check that a place is available and that the walks are suitable for you.
All Journeying holidays are fully inclusive of accommodation, transport from the starting point of the holiday (you will need to get yourself to the starting point), entrance fees and meals except casual refreshments and where half-board arrangements exist. We grade each type of walk by length and terrain covered so you can choose the right holiday to suit you. To find out more go to the Walk Grading page. Also, please remember to book early due to the small size of our groups.
