Self-guided Tours
Tried and tested routes, carefully designed by local experts.
Hiking or Biking?
From the Cotswolds to Cornwall, hiking along the coast to cycling through leafy valleys and woodlands.
Our self-guided tours have been curated by extraordinary local guides who know the very best hiking and biking routes right across England.
With the start of our tours all sitting within easy reach of major cities and transport hubs, and all luggage transfers, accommodation, maps and GPS instructions provided, you’ll be free to explore without any of the hassle.
Our Self-guided Tours
Active England self-guided trips blend top-notch accommodations, fantastic local connections, and meticulously crafted routes, with the flexibility to kick back and set your own pace each day.
Your local Active England guide, who welcomes you on your first day, is always just a call away.
Along the way, we’ll tell you where to find the most stunning views and point out the best local pubs, cafes and restaurants.
We’ll take care of access, suggest historical points of interest and highlight any tricky bits you might encounter, so that you can be confident your route is well thought out and perfectly safe.
Private Self-guided Tours
Like the look of a self-guided tour, but can’t make our dates work? Every one of our scheduled self-guided trips can be made private.
They mirror our regular group departures, but going private means you’re in control of the dates you travel and who comes along.
So gather your partner, your friends or your family and begin planning today.
