WELSH WALKING CO.

guided walking holidays in Wales

About us

Join us to explore Wales one step at a time

Hello – we’re Jane and Russ – two keen walkers who absolutely love showing people around the stunning landscapes of Wales.

 

SMALL GROUP ADVENTURES FOR AN AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE

We think smaller groups make for a better adventure, so we cap our group tours at just 8 guests.

You’ll enjoy plenty of camaraderie and personalised attention and never feel lost in the crowd.

A LOCAL PERSPECTIVE

Welsh born, Jane provides insider knowledge into the history, culture, people and landscapes experienced on every journey. With over 15 years planning high-end adventures around the world, she handcrafts every detail of each tour.  

Russ lends his logistical expertise from his background in the fire service, and as a keen foodie always knows the best places to eat. 

BUILDING BONDS

Our walks aren’t just about putting one foot in front of the other. We want you to feel like you’re exploring with friends. So there’s plenty of time for photos, chats with the locals, and swapping stories with your newfound pals over post-walk drinks and dinner. 

A TOUCH OF LUXURY

We don’t believe walking holidays should be a compromise in comfort. So we’ve handpicked accommodations bursting with style and character that offer a cosy retreat after a day of exploration. Plus you can indulge your taste buds on the best local Welsh cuisine at outstanding restaurants and excellent gastro pubs. 

HASSLE FREE

Our tours include your meals, accommodations, private transportation, guiding and extra activities so everything is taken care of and you can relax and enjoy your well deserved break.
