Archived Trails

Contours Holidays are committed to providing top-notch walking breaks, which sometimes means we have to retire those trails that no-longer meet our highest expectations. This could be due to a lack of quality accommodation along the trail, the established guidebook falling out of date with no forthcoming replacement, issues with trail maintenance or really any change that might prevent us from providing a fantastic holiday experience for you.

Below is a list of trails that we have archived over the years. If you're looking to book a walking holiday with us along one of these trails, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss your needs.
