Where and with whom should I book a walking tour in Devon or Cornwall this April.

Hello Jaz,

I have been eyeing hfholidays. They have both self-guided and guided options of varying length. I have not been yet, but they have a lot of good reviews on this forum. The UK is definitely a great place to walk!

I’ve heard very good things myself about HF Holidays and I like the detail they offer on each day’s choice of walks. Here’s what they offer in Cornwall, for example - both guided and self-guided: https://www.hfholidays.co.uk/holidays-and-tours#/holidays?FL.Location=Cornwall&sort=ordering%7CASC&page=1

I have done self-guided walking tours several times in the UK (but not in Devon or Cornwall). I have used Contours (https://www.contours.co.uk) and been very happy with the service and price. They book lodging, luggage transport, and, if necessary, cab service on any hiking days (sometimes you end the walk for the day away from the lodging; if so, they have arranged for your transport to lodging and back the next day). Also, you receive detailed hiking directions. I will use them again if I am fortunate to book another walking holiday.

Hi Jane -

Try Encounter Walking Holidays. They specialise in that part of the world and we used them a few years back when we walked across Devon on the Two Moors Way. I read they’ve been sold to new owners in the recent past, but the up to date reviews I read on their website were pretty complimentary. Couldn’t fault them when I used the original owners - most helpful, especially as we wanted a slowish pace and wanted to do the walk ‘backwards’ as it were. The baggage van guy who we spoke to one morning said we’d made his life ‘interesting’!

Have a great trip!

Ian

Thanks very much everyone,

Now another question.

Where do you recommend I walk? North or South Cornwall or Devon?

Thanks again,
Jaz
