Headwater Walking Trips Under £1000

You'd be surprised how far you can get for under £1000. These Headwater holidays represent exquisite value for money, with many included meals, local produce tasting, superb rep service and handpicked boutique accommodation making every holiday extra special.

Walkers have a wealth of choice. If you're hoping for a short but sweet getaway, we have some of our increasingly popular short breaks to tempt you. Visit the windswept and beautiful Algarve, where a warm Portuguese welcome is helped along by the excellent local wines, or sample the very best of the Kerry Way through some of Ireland's most scenic protected landscapes.

If you're hoping to lace up your boots up a little longer, don't worry - choices abound. You could spend six days strolling the five lands of the Cinque Terre on Italy's coastline, where pastel coloured towns overlook the sea. You could spend longer on the Algarve's beautiful coast with a seven day itinerary - Portugal's excellent value means this still comes in under £1000. Closer to home, the stunning cliffs and fossil beaches of the Jurassic Coast are calling. Or you could follow the footpaths of English's emblematic Lake District, favourite of hill walkers the world over, exploring its rich literary history.
