“We were very lucky with the weather, didn't need any of the wet weather gear we had packed. So grateful that it was carried from place to place efficiently for us. The most memorable part was walking the 4km across the Pilgrims' causeway before the tide rose. The whole route was gently undulating and varied, and on hot days walking through deciduous woods provided welcome shade. It appears this is not a well-known route and there were few other walkers. We were glad to avoid crowds. We're grateful to Contours for making the bookings at short notice and finding accommodation for us.”

Dr Moss, UK

“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

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

Mr Waite, Canada

“An excellent and not crowded walking route with decent accommodation.”

Mr Biro, UK

“We were lucky with the weather, and May was a great time to benefit from wild flowers in bloom and birdsong along the route. All the places we stayed were very welcoming of our dog and ourselves.”

Mrs Woods, UK

“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

“Gentle beautiful countryside, very relaxing after the Southern Upland Way.”

Mr Mason, UK
