Celtic Trails Walking Holidays

A slightly different #throwbackthursday this week! We recently found a file of sketches which were drawn up for brochures back when Celtic Trails first began. Here is one that was used for our Offa's Dyke walk; it is named after Offa, the Anglo-Saxon king of Mercia from AD 757 until 796, who is traditionally believed to have ordered its construction.⠀ #offasdyke #tbt #sketch #oldschool #heritage #ourhistory #experience #walking #walkingholidays

Newgale Beach, on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, feels like coming home to us. What a glorious sunset! Anyone else have a favourite spot to watch the sunset?

We are delighted that our Cleveland Way walking holiday was featured in @telegraphtravel this weekend. Click here to read more:

We are privileged to be based in Tintern, so lunchtime walks involve seeing this beauty. You'll pass through here on the Wye Valley Walk or it's a perfect detour when walking Offa's Dyke.

Continuing our heritage theme with another #throwbackthursday. Founder, Angus Cunningham, enjoying what he loves most - walking. We have over 20 years of experience to draw upon, meaning that we are able to design the best walking holiday to meet your needs.

It's so important to take care of both the mind and body and this feedback couldn't have come at a more apt time. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Do you feel as though you become less productive as the day goes on? If so, why not consider taking some time out of your busy schedule for a walk. The weather this week is a perfect time to start. And if 20 minutes at lunchtime helps, then just imagine what a walking holiday could help you achieve!

A daily walk is shown to reduce your risk of heart disease, depression & type 2 diabetes.

As a family-run business, our heritage is very important to us, so here's another throwback to the very early days. Celtic Trails developed organically, from a B&B in North Wales, when visitors were keen to explore the local area on foot. We're privileged to be helping more and more people get outdoors every year. #tbt #throwbackthursday #memories #walking #hiking #northwales #celtictrails #shareyoursteps #getoutdoors #nature #health

This gloomy weather is making us dream of the sunshine! If you fancy a European walk, our collection has grown! We have walks in Portugal, the Balearics, mainland Spain, Italy and the Canaries. Visit us here for more information https://buff.ly/305f43O, or call us for a chat!

Our local supporter, Kate Humble, says it all in this short clip on the benefits and importance of walking. It lifts your spirits, it doesn't create air pollution and, what's more, it's free! https://buff.ly/2LsYd7u #walkthismay #NationalWalkingMonth #getoutdoors #walking #hiking

Does this sound like you? If not, maybe it's time to consider a holiday that leaves you feeling fitter and healthier. This is how our client, Ann Hedburg, told us she felt after her recent walk in Portugal.

Just 20 minutes outdoor walking a day is scientifically proven to improve your mental and physical health.
May is #National Walking Month. Why not start today?

#NationalWalkingMonth With spring in the air, why not spend as much as possible of this Bank Holiday Weekend outdoors? Nature has proven beneficial benefits for the mind and soul and a little goes a long way.

A throwback to the very early days of Celtic Trails! Here is one of our founders back in 1997 exploring the trails; fashion sense may have changed a little since then, but the love of walking remains strong. #throwbackthursday #nationalwalkingmonth

Another popular walk this year has been the West Highland Way and you can tell why, when you see Rachel Hickey's photographs. If a smile could tell a thousand words! Challenge of the day - give the pronunciation in image 3 a go!

Our Cabo de Gata walk is proving popular with our clients this year. Here are Joy and Paul Travers enjoying their super trip. Delighted to hear of the "great walking and lovely places to stay".
