“Apologies for the delay in recording how much we enjoyed the holiday you organised for us along Hadrian‘s wall. It was a huge success. All the accommodations were excellent. As regards the actual walk it was most enjoyable. I have no doubt that the three-day section from Lanercost to Chollerford is really the most interesting and I’m glad we focused on that. An excellent experience and we would certainly recommend Contours Walking Holidays to others and consider using it again ourselves.”Mr Jackson, UK
“The two sections we walked were stunning and others who were walking the whole of Hadrian’s Wall said that these were by far the best sections.”Mrs Beard, Australia
