contours - self-guided tourOn an Independent Trails Holiday you follow the route without a guide, staying somewhere different each night. We arrange your accommodation along the trail, provide you with maps and a guidebook and transport your luggage to your next night's accommodation.

Independent Trails start whenever you want - simply tell us when you would like to arrive; you start walking the following day. If you wish, you can add extra nights for rest days or sightseeing.

You stay in comfortable hotels, country inns, family-run guesthouses and farmhouse bed and breakfast's along the trail, which have been carefully chosen for their warm and friendly welcome and the quality of their accommodation. We always book en-suite rooms with private bathrooms where they are available, but some, in the remoter areas where accommodation is limited, may not have private facilities. A traditional cooked breakfast is included.In keeping with the flexible nature of these tours we do not arrange lunches or evening meals. Packed lunches are available each day from your accommodation, although you may prefer to stop forlunch at an inn or café along the trail. Evening meals are available at your accommodation or from an inn nearby.
