The guides are well-versed in the landscape, expertly navigating both the paths and group dynamics. With a maximum of eight participants, the experience remains smooth and pleasant. The lodgings are not only beautiful but also cozy, and the local cuisine is exceptional. I rarely revisit trips, yet I found myself returning for a second year!

Hadrians Wall with Wilderness England
We had an excellent guide and excellent group on our hike of Hadrians Wall. We stayed at some amazing places and had many really great meals. We were fortunate to have perfect weather for hiking for the entire trip! All in all it was a very memorable experience.
Fantastic trip with an expert local guide
Fantastic trip with an expert local tour guide. The small-group size was ideal. Accommodation and meals were great, too. Even with awful weather, our guide was able to help us make the most of the local hikes and we experienced some amazing and remote scenery.
Jennifer was a great guide
She was informative, organized and good natured. She took us to Crags, to the Woodsworth cabin, to restaurants, waterfalls and we saw everything. She always had extra supplies to cover if we were lacking anything.
She ensured it was the trip of a lifetime.

Wildenerness England hit it out of the park!
Cornwall Trip - Our guide, Louise, was awesome! Very knowledgeable, efficient, and fun! The accommodations and dining was authentic and comfortable.
Hiking in Lovely Wales
This was my first hiking trip with Wilderness England. The guide, food, accommodations and itinerary were all really wonderful. Nat had to make a few changes in the itinerary due to weather and the alternatives were lovely hiking spots so nothing missed I am sure. I have hiked with several other companies over the past 20 years and WE is at the top of the list.
Highland Gravel Trail
I had a fantastic time cycling from Milngavie (just north of Glasgow) to the Moray Firth. Brilliant Guides, great route, great accommodation and great food.
Guides who know the terrain
Guides who know the terrain - both the trails and how to interact with the group. The limit of eight people makes the experience easy and enjoyable. Beautiful, comfortable accommodations, great local food. I don't usually repeat a trip, but I've been two years in a row!
Unforgettable 50th Birthday Trip
Wilderness England did a great job with everything for our trip. The itinerary was varied and flexible and the scenery was stunning! The inns were warm and welcoming with delicious food. But the star of our trip was our guide, Carol. She was knowledgeable and encouraging at every turn. She was amazing at planning and working around our needs and the weather. I would absolutely take another trip with Wilderness.
It was not only a wonderful itinerary
It was not only a wonderful itinerary, but the guides were outstanding!
Lake District Walk
I can't say enough great things about Wilderness England and my Lake District Hike. Everything was seamless, the hiking was amazing, the food was outstanding, our guide, Jo, was incredible as well! I loved that we could hike directly from our hotels - which were lovely. I would definitely book another trip with Wilderness England again!
