Long Distance UK Walking Holidays & Hiking Tours on the Pilgrims' Way and in the Kent Downs An area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
Our hiking & walking holidays have been designed to meet the needs of a wide range of walkers abilities, and have flexible start dates for convenience. Average distances walked are 10 miles, but can be extended for the more ambitious, and routes can be combined to cover a greater distance overall (or completed in shorter sections for those who prefer to take things at a slower pace). Luggage transfer is arranged and checked for you, daily support is available to help you with local knowledge.
All self-led holidays come with the option of daily tracker support and include
luggage transfer, marked up maps and guidebooks as well as quality inn, hotel and guest house accommodation.
Walk Awhile is a family run business, established in 2002, and based in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We are committed to operating a Responsible Travel Policy that is supportive and in sympathy with local communities and the environment. We advise customers where they can purchase locally produced food and produce along the route and encourage them to use local services. We encourage all customers to use public transport to access the start of their holiday.
We are proud to have been awarded the Green Tourism Silver Award since 2006
