A self-guided walking holiday celebrating the many historic sites associated with St Cuthbert.
From £590 per person
St Cuthbert's Way follows the story of a 7th century saint who travelled through Scotland and northern England, spreading the Gospel and performing healing miracles. Beginning at Melrose, where the saint started his ministry, and ending at Holy Island, where he ended his days, the trail passes through scenery of great variety and beauty.
The walk takes in heather-clad hills, tranquil riverbanks and old Roman roads, visiting attractive villages and border towns along the way. Particular sites of interest include the ruin of Dryburgh Abbey, Cessford Castle, St Cuthbert's Cave and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, complete with its ruined abbey and spectacular castle.
Both of our holiday options follow St Cuthbert's Way from end to end, but our mainland option returns to the shore for the final night's stay. If you would prefer to stay on Holy Island, select the Holy Island option from the list below.
Dogs are welcome on select routes along this trail. Look for the pawprint icon when choosing your holiday.
From £610 per person
This 62-mile holiday option takes in the complete St Cuthbert’s Way, staying in accommodation on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne at the end of the walk. This is a great opportunity to spend more time exploring this historical island and provides a spectacular finale for your walking holiday.

“I absolutely loved it!! It was a much needed holiday!! It was so wonderful to do this, to have everything taken care of, and all of it was wonderful, and every detail was taken care of. Thank you so much for this amazing experience!! It made so much of a huge difference to just set up the dates and select the passage, and have every detail from a place to stay Monday night till a place to stay till Monday morning. Every host was amazing. Each taxi company was wonderful, kind, warm, wonderful!! It made doing this experience on my own so wonderful and not nearly as daunting as it could have been.”Rev Smith, UK
