Experiences that get you closer to nature

England opens up its green and pleasant lands to adventurers from March onwards, and then shuts up shop again at the end of October. So, to use a well known expression from the London Underground, ‘Mind the gap’, because there is a bit of a seasonal gap when it comes to adventures in England. Our South West Coast Path holidays, for example, are open from March to October, and the trail is at its busiest in June, July and August. Not only on the trail itself but also in terms of accommodation, so you need to book early for the height of summer.

We rated all 15 main walking National Trails of England and Wales on how easy each is to walk without a car, end to end, by train and bus. A month-by-month guide to the best time to walk all 15 National Trails of England and Wales — by weather, daylight, crowds and midges. A service charge is sometimes included in restaurants and, if it is, a tip isn’t necessary. Quite often you’re given the option to add on a tip when you pay on a card machine and you’re given various options.

• Are you looking for a child-friendly day they’ll always remember?
• Which, with NHS waiting lists an ongoing problem, can be tricky sometimes.
• The English do like to talk about the weather a lot, however, because traditionally it’s unpredictable.
• If you can’t seem to shake that old back-to-school feeling, it’s the perfect time to play hiking hooky from everyday life.

It’s 50km from your starting point on this Lake District hiking holiday in Pooley Bridge, and takes place at the end of September. But it’s worth having an extra night there to pack up your backpack. For our Cotswolds holidays, they also operate between April and October.

Heatwaves hit the media big time, even though temperatures have often passed 30C for many years in summer now. Even up in the border areas with Scotland such as on the St Cuthberts Way, although this is still quite rare. There’s an expression among people living in southern England that ‘it’s grim up north’ but far from it. In fact, the cooler temperatures are becoming much more favourable during the climate crisis.

Outdoor adventures, lessons, tours & trips

Because, although it is one of Europe’s smallest countries, it has five national parks, a plethora of peaks, with over sixty of them hitting heights of over 1,800m, spectacular lakelands and nearly 300km of coast. The South Downs Way is a 160km National Trail open to walkers, cyclists and horse riders. It cuts through chalk escarpment, which has made it historically accessible and, therefore, always been favoured for traditional means of transport. It starts in the cathedral city of Winchester in Hampshire, crosses the South Downs National Park and finishes in the East Sussex coastal town of Eastbourne. The trail is a natural playground of unbroken, undulating utopia, where you follow a route through the many ages of English history.

Although this is not a visa, it has created one more hoop to jump through for many travellers. For nationals of Canada, USA and Australia, for example, who used to travel to the UK without a visa for short trips, they have to get an ETA now. More dramatically for many EU, European Economic Area (EEA) and Schengen country nationals, they also now have to get an ETA, whereas they could travel freely to and from the UK before. Unlike the Coast to Coast Path, people usually walk Hadrian’s Wall Path from east to west, starting in Newcastle on the North Sea and completing their Roman ramble of 135km at Solway Firth on the Irish Sea. Also a UNESCO site, walking Hadrian’s Wall Path is a journey not only to historic sites such as Vindolanda and Housesteads Roman forts but also through natural triumphs such as Northumberland National Park. One of the final stretches is walking along the River Eden into Carlisle, the ancient city just 13km south of the Scottish border.

A pint of beer is around £5-6 and a small glass of wine can be £6. Fish and chips are not cheap as chips either, averaging £10 per head. A lot of US visitors don’t realise, however, that you can buy a bottle of wine and some snacks, and drink it in a public park, beach or riverside in England, and you are not breaking the law. While every aspect of our local produce catering Hampshire holidays is important, it is our guides who really elevate the trip. It is, for this reason, we have invested in recruiting and selecting the best guides in the business.

If you’re paying by cash, anything between 10 and 12.5% is the norm. As England is not in the EU anymore, there is no sign of it adopting the euro anytime soon, unlike its neighbours. So it’s a bit annoying if you have to change currency when travelling between England and say, Ireland, or France.
