Planning your Walking trip to in 2027
Why Choose Walking for Your Holiday?
Walking is the slowest and most immersive way to travel, and that is the appeal. You see places you would drive straight past, meet people along the trail, and arrive somewhere having earned the view. Days can be as gentle or as demanding as you like, from short village-to-village walks to long mountain stages, and with luggage moved ahead you only carry a day pack while you walk.
For travellers comparing point-to-point routes where the main bag is moved between stays, our walking and cycling tours with luggage transfer guide explains how luggage transfer works and which trips include it.
