On Foot Holidays

It's #WorldBookDay! Did you know that many of the places you'll pass through on our lovely walking holiday in Dorset appear in Thomas Hardy's novels, often with thinly disguised names? There's more about The Acorn at Evershot (Hardy's 'The Sow and Acorn') in our latest blog about some of the traditional pubs you'll find on our English walks. https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/put-feet -traditional-engl…/

Hello from the On Foot team! Taken on a gloomy day in January, in contrast to balmy spring weather in Salisbury today 😎

Thank you, Maureen, for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed your holiday - that's what really makes us happy🙂

Where will your itchy feet take you this year? It’s time to get out and about, and we’ve got plenty of suggestions for walking in the quiet backwaters of Europe where you can enjoy the best that springtime has to offer – wild flowers, gentle warmth, and the fresh green of new life. Here's a small selection - lots more on our website! https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/

Signs of spring in Dorset. Looking forward to another year in the great outdoors!

Good news for our vegan and vegetarian walkers! We now have three routes where our hosts have committed to providing imaginative and varied vegan dishes that reflect the local cuisine, or there are suitable restaurants nearby. We're working to add more to this list. Read more on our blog: https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/best-hol idays-vegans-vege…/

Good day at Destinations today (Simon and Debbie - Patrick was snowed in!) with lots of potential new clients as well as lovely existing ones (thanks Judith, Ann, John, Tim, Joanne, Nick, Hal, Maria Luisa and others!). We have a stand opposite the nice people from Inntravel and Naturetrek. Mary and Emma are staffing the stand tomorrow (Saturday) and John, Heather and Harriet on Sunday. Do come and say hello (overseas clients and those currently on On Foot holidays let off).

The Dolomites are one of our favourite places to walk, and the route will be even better in 2019! We've added a second night in Cortina to enable you to take a stunning walk from the Falzarego Pass up to the Lagazuoi refuge, where you can visit the World War I museum and see huts, tunnels and trenches still remaining from the conflict. There's also a new section from Misurina, so no more taxis en route! https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/routes/d olomites/

We're currently chilling in Prague after our second On Foot Holidays adventure through the Bohemian Paradise. As with our previous Catalonia trip, everything was perfectly arranged, the routes were just the right side of challenging, and the walking instructions were brilliant. Our local contact came through every time and answered questions by text quickly and efficiently. We have two student-age children who we sincerely expected to not want to holiday with us again after the age of 18, but they are always up for an On Foot challenge. We are already thinking about where to go next!

We had an amazing trip in Galicia along Lighthouse Way with On Foot Holidays. The route was incredible, with beautiful views, and every B&B was welcoming. They made everything easy (except for some of the uphill climbs :) ). We had a memorable and fun trip.

We are just about to depart on our 5th holiday with this great company. Amazing locations, superb organization and spot on advice. They really know their stuff!

Vikos Gorge 5 days 5⭐️ - the scenery, the people, the organisation! Wonderful :)

They are there for you every step of the way. From planning to to going home. Their patience in the planning process was sincere andtheir assistance in the location was always there to accommodate you. We can't wait for our next adventure with them. Dennis

The South/West England (Dorset) Walk was such an amazing way to start our 3 week trip to England and Europe. The walk was well organised. We stayed in the most beautiful and friendly Bed and Breakfasts. The scenery was amazing. It is such wonderful experience to walk through fields, woods and seaside cliff tops and see so much greenery.....green is a rare summer color in Australia! The walking guides are fantastic. I was so impressed with the package when it arrived in the mail weeks for before the walk commenced. Thank you On Foot Holidays for an amazing holiday experience.

On foot holidays was with us every step of the way and made our vacation so easy and hassle free. We just got home from a 9 day Croatia trip in Dubrovnik, and the Elafiti islands including Lopud and Sipan. We hiked about 8 to 10 miles a day, ate great food and drank great local wine. The beauty and history was mesmerizing and the Croatian people are some of the most gracious we have met. We would highly recommend this company.

Istria, Croatia. Wonderfully organised, beautiful and varied days as we made our way in well judged "bites" to the coast, with a fantastic final summit of Mt Ucka.

Looking forward to our next trip. So pleased we have found you.

Imi place mult !

Amalfi Coast walk was the best walk I have ever done as a solo walker. The scenery was amazing and the food was seriously good. It was so therapeutic and has given me so much confidence in life.

Always great organisation and the most beautiful unspoilt areas to explore. Would highly recommend.
