INDEPENDENT WALKING HOLIDAYS

Why choose an
independent walking holiday?

Independent walking holidays give you maximum flexibility as you travel at your own pace: setting off whenever you're ready, choosing when and where to stop for lunch, and planning the day around your own personal agenda. We provide comprehensive walking route notes - all regularly checked and updated by us. Check out our new maps and notes video to see why you never need worry about getting lost!

Hotel-to-hotel independent walking holidays

Our hotel-to-hotel independent walking holidays let you discover the heart of your holiday region, in your own way and at your own pace. There are independent walking holidays, from 7 to 11 days, at walking levels from 1-boot to 3-boot. With most holidays starting every two days, it's easy to combine two or more into a longer walking holiday. On most independent walking holidays you move on between hotels every two days: we transport your bags between hotels so you need carry only the minimum. In-between days are for exploring locally, with the help of Headwater's detailed maps and notes. Or you can lounge by the pool, go shopping, or whatever!

Single-centre independent walking holidays

We also offer a number of single centre independent walking holidays and, in most cases, provide comprehensive maps and walking notes, with details of walking times, distances, and ascents, so that you can "mix and match" levels to suit how you feel each day. This gives you the most flexibility about which routes to choose, and how easy-going or strenuous you want to be. Many people do bring children on our easier independent walking holidays and, of course, infants can always be carried in papooses.
