Walking holidays have long been a popular choice in terms of domestic tourism. Long before the possibility of international tourism came into being, families and groups of friends were embarking on walking expeditions up and down the country in order to see more of our green and luscious land, which boasts surprising geographic and geological variation considering its size.

Nowadays, the walking holiday can take many different forms and, if you are itching to experience a different part of the English countryside for yourself, there is sure to be one to suit your holiday needs perfectly. We’ve compiled a quick list of some of our favourites:

1. For those who really want to get to grips with the great outdoors, there can be nothing better than a camping holiday. Britain is well equipped with a range of different kinds of camp sites, some owned by large holiday making companies and others more intimate family run establishments. A good campsite will not only be able to provide you with a  safe and pleasant environment in which to sleep, they should also be able to set you on your walking way with a variety of maps and route guides at your disposal.

 
 
2. A small step up from sleeping in a tent is to hire a caravan for the duration of your break. Caravan holidays are easy to plan and book through caravan holiday websites such as Park Resorts who provide well equipped caravan sites across the country.

3. For those who prefer to retire in style after a long day’s hiking in the countryside, Pembrokeshire and other scenic areas of England are certainly not short of high class hotels where a range of services are likely to be on offer to ensure that your every need is met. Some hotels provide picnic packing services, setting you off on your way with plenty of delicious sustenance for the day. Others provide breakfast and dinner packages, serving up top notch grub perfect after a day-long hike. And some will even help your tired muscles recover with spa and sauna facilities.
