“Beautiful and varied scenery - from riverside and woodland walks, alongside and through fields, hills and moors, and of course across the sands to Lindisfarne. Walks about the right length for us. Inns good and baggage transfer flawless.”

Mr Minot, USA

“Logistics, administration and quality of accommodation are outstanding.”

Mr Bancroft, UK

“We were extremely fortunate with the weather, the walk itself is lovely and the accommodation was for the most part very good.”

Mrs Hawkins, UK

“Very good walk – good spacing of overnight stops with sufficient time to see some of the historic sites along the way.”

Mr Waite, Canada

“Stunning scenery, wonderful accommodation, magnificent breakfasts, kind and generous hosts and best of all, the weather - rain, hail, snow, wind and perfect sunshine! Everything was above and beyond our expectation.”

Mr Trembath, Australia

“Though relatively short this was a superb walk through quiet countryside, a mix of hill walking as well as riverside paths, woodland walks and tracks crossing farmland. Highly recommended. It helped that the weather was fine, sunny and (especially on the last two days) hot. This was our 7th walk with Contours.”

Mr Gill, UK

“St. Cuthbert's Way was, though incredibly challenging, a magnificent path to follow, especially the last day, walking across the sand and mud to Holy Isle. MOST of the accommodations were good, and we were absolutely DELIGHTED by the cab drivers. I never would have thought that cab drivers would be a highlight of the experience, but they were. The luggage transfers were flawless, which was so helpful. The Allerton House and the Lindisfarne on Holy Isle were superb lodgings. Like any such experience, there were ups and downs, but overall it was a great experience.”

Ms Kleeman, USA

“Our entire family loved this trip. The beautiful story of St Cuthbert’s Way, the welcome we received most nights, and the pace of life while on this trip were all gifts. Thanks for your effort to offer that to your clients.”

Mrs Paetkau, USA

“I am writing to thank you for making our recent walking holiday, St Cuthbert’s Way, so memorable. Each section of the walk was well planned, the accommodation reached high standards throughout the week, and we were thrilled to experience a competent baggage service and outstanding taxi service which were comfortable and the drivers information helpful. I will not hesitate to recommend your organisation to fellow walkers.”
