Country Adventures began in 1999 when we first started organising walking weekends and special interest holidays in the English Lake District. Today we organise a variety of holidays and adventure weekends both in the UK and overseas for people aged 18+ including Walking, Multi Activity, and Special Interest holidays set in fantastic locations. Whatever your interest we have something for you, from leisurely scenic walking to more strenuous trekking, and from sightseeing to high adventure multi activity weekends.

At Country Adventures we are extremely proud of the reason why so many people repeatedly choose to come on our adventures is because whichever holiday you choose you can be assured of an interesting and exciting holiday that offers amazing value, stunning locations, comfortable accommodation, variety, and above all a great time. To see what people have said after coming on a Country Adventures holiday take a look at our Customer Comments.

For people who may be travelling with us for the first time, whichever Country Adventures holiday you choose, there are several important features common to all our trips:

Variety - It's not only the quality of our itineraries that make our holidays enjoyable it is also the variety of people that travel with us. So whether you decide to come on your own, with a friend or partner, or as part of a larger group, you can be sure of sharing a relaxed and friendly environment with new friends.

Fitness - It is also a common misconception that to go an adventure holiday you have to be young and super fit. Yes we do have holidays that are more physically demanding than others but most of our holidays are about having an enjoyable experience, whatever your age, as long as you are reasonably fit and healthy. Please refer to the individual holiday itinerary for the grade of activity and where it is a walking holiday read the 'Walking Grades' section below. If you are in any doubts as to your fitness level for a particular holiday, please just contact us and we can advise you.

Age - On our holidays there is often a variety of ages from people in their mid-late twenties to people who are 50+. Whoever is in your group you can be reasonably sure that everyone shares a passion for the great outdoors. Whilst the minimum age requirement for all our adventure holidays featured in the current brochure is 18 years, we do offer activity packages for people aged under 18 and it is well worth looking at our Multi Activity, Guide Service, and Group Bookings section of the website for further details.

With the exception of specific holidays we keep the size of the groups small. This can vary from a maximum of 8 to 14 people. We believe, and our experience has shown us, that small groups are safer and socially more fun and therefore provide a better holiday experience for our guests.

The accommodation for our holidays has been carefully selected to provide a choice to suit everyone and offer the most suitable place to stay for each of the holidays. We use hotels but also bunkroom type accommodation in stunning locations. Wherever you stay, you can be sure of comfortable settings, good food, and a warm welcome. If you are looking for a holiday with that little bit of extra added comfort then please take a look at our range of Country Comforts walking and explorer holidays.

All of our holidays are led by experienced and enthusiastic guides with intimate local knowledge to ensure that your holiday runs smoothly and you have the best holiday experience.

Our holidays are ideal for active people and from the choice of holidays you can select the grade of walking you wish to do together with how much you want to do. The number of walks may vary depending on your choice of holiday so please take a look at the holiday itinerary to see exactly the grade and amount of walking included in a particular holiday:

Walking Grades

Please just be aware that even some of the easiest walks involve some exertion.

If you decide you do not want to walk on a particular walking day, that's ok and we can suggest an alternative activity for you.

Simply find a holiday that you want to go on and then follow the 'Step by step guide to easy booking'. As we do specialise in small group holidays, places are limited so we highly recommend you book your holiday as far in advance as possible to secure the holiday of your choice.

On the website you can check the current availability of a specific holiday by visiting the individual holiday website page.

For your peace of mind and protection and in accordance with the 'EC Package Travel Directive 1992' your deposit and final payment are protected in a holiday 'Client Account' until completion of your holiday.
