“We all loved walking through the forests, lanes, pastures and over the way too many hills. We explored villages and found pubs with great food and atmosphere. People were friendly and the weather was lovely. Our luggage was moved on time each day, the hotels were well situated and comfortable and the food was delicious. The maps and directions were accurate and we never got lost. I will be signing up for another walk through Contours. Hadrian’s Wall is next.”Mrs Eddy, USA
