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

Mr Mason, UK

“We enjoyed our holiday very much, it was a real adventure.”

Mr Stanton, UK

“Varied landscape easy to follow route with way markers. Crossing to Holy Island a highlight.”

Dr Mansfield, UK

“We had a great time in Scotland and England along sent St Cuthbert’s Way. The tour was beautiful. The people we stayed with were very friendly and helpful and our food and rooms were spot on.”

Ms Lucas, Canada

“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

“Very lucky with the weather given the unsettled forecast. Very well signposted for the whole of the walk. A lot more tarmac than we expected. The 2 days on the Cheviots were excellent as was the Eildon Hills.”

Mrs McDougall, 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

“Weather, transport, accommodation all excellent.”

Ms Crawford, Ireland

“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
