Peter took his time exploring the 🥾 South West Coast Path on a 12 Day Moderate tour and was rewarded with some magnificent coastal shots showing us that the Cornish coastline looks at its best when it fizzes with life in changeable weather. #HillwalkTours #Hiking #Holiday #Cornwall #Photography

Daniel, delighted to see Wallstown Crag on Hadrian's Wall, one of its most dramatic viewpoints where the volcanic rock edge plunges into the landscape along the crags of the Whin Sill. You'll find it between Birdoswald & Housesteads Forts which makes for a great day's hiking. #HillwalkTours #England

The anticipation of finishing the Camino is brilliantly captured here by Paul, an American customer. Notice how the 4 pilgrims approach Santiago de Compostela hand in hand after their shared experience. You too can create memories of a lifetime on our Camino Tours. #HillwalkTours #Camino #Spain

Christien from the Netherlands & her sisters had a great time on the 🥾 Beara Way this month keeping the smiles going uphill, lunching on the coast next to ancient monuments, Irish Coffees at O'Neills in Allihies & sampling the night life in Glengariff. Nothing beats a Beara tour! #HillwalkTours

An amazing shot from Patrick of the cliffs at Dun Aengus. On the left some people give a sense of scale. You can experience its wildness on our 🥾 Connemara & West of Ireland tours when you visit the Aran Islands. You'll also visit St Patrick's shrine at Maumean. #HillwalkTours #hiking #Ireland

Anke & friends had an 8-Day adventure on 🥾 St Cuthbert's Way earlier this month & they soaked up vistas from the Wide Open Hill, Holy Island sunsets, super stain glass windows at St Mary's church on the island & braved the new terrifying danger of free-range children! #HillwalkTours #Northumberland

Smiles all round for Swiss friends Sonja, Stefan & Daniel who made the most of the fine weather on a 6-day Gentle Tour on the Dingle Way recently when they went wild by the Blaskets, piled in for a swim at Ballydavid & supped a few glasses of stout just to keep it country. Respect! 👍 #HillwalkTours

There's no better place to celebrate a birthday than at the highest point above Loch Ness on the Great Glen Way & no better drink than a wee dram of 🎂 Scotch whisky. We always knew you could do it Lauren, happy birthday! #HappyBirthday #LochNess #GreatGlenWay #Scotland #HillwalkTours

Earlier this season Jennie hiked the Fife Coastal Path & we were delighted to hear that she & Peter had "a perfect week of weather... Loved the forest paths, the coastal beaches, the geology, ruins, birdlife, the golf courses & the distilleries. All brilliant!" 👍 #HillwalkTours #hiking #Scotland

It's hard to get across how great some trails are but every now and then a customer sends us something that captures the majesty of a place. So it is with Stefan & Lindsay's clip from the 🥾 West Highland Way, it looks like they have it all to themselves. #HillwalkTours #hiking #holiday #Scotland

It's all fun & games on the 🥾 Kerry Way with Arie & Diana. From boat trips on the lakes of Killarney to a dip in a rocky river & the best use of sheep's wool tufts I've yet seen they show us just how to make the most of an Irish summer. #HillwalkTours 💯 #KerryWay #Ireland #Killarney

Judy-"The views were spectacular whether walking along the cliff's edge, taking in the view from the window of Dunluce Castle, or walking along a beautiful beach such as White Rocks Bay & White Park Bay. Seeing the Giant's Causeway has been on the bucket list for many years!" #HillwalkTours #Ireland

Angela, Carolyn, Janis, Nimrat & Susan from Canada brought their own sense of fun to the 🥾 Cotswold Way in May on their 8-day gentle tour. During the hike they had time to revisit their youth with a rope swing, some healthy stretching & al fresco dining! 🥪 #HillwalkTours #Hike #Holiday #Cotswolds

🌦️New Yorker Louisa & her friends got to see a lazy Alpaca & an ever curious donkey on their 🥾 Dingle Way adventure in May. We hope the rain didn't dampen their spirits, maybe they took the Alpaca for a walk which is something you can do believe it or not! #HillwalkTours #DingleWay #NewYorkn #Hiking
