Walking, Sightseeing & Special Interest Holidays

First edition

Something special happens when you walk with us

You discover more than just incredible views. From the moment you arrive, you join a friendly group that shares walks, lively conversation, and a love of the great outdoors. By the time you leave you feel like you have known each other for years, not just days.

Hosted in beautiful locations and expertly guided by experienced leaders, a wide choice of walks and excursions means there is an unforgettable journey for every pace. Arrive solo, as a couple or in a group – a warm HF welcome awaits.

A reputation for excellence Backed by more than 37,000 five-star Feefo reviews, our dedication to delivering exceptional experiences is also recognised with multiple awards, including Which? Recommended Provider for Escorted Tours and Best Escorted Tour Operator at the Telegraph Travel Awards.

A personal welcome For more than a century, we have been helping people explore some of the most beautiful places in the UK, Europe and around the world. While it is the landscapes and destinations that often first inspire people to book, it is the warm welcome, shared experiences and lasting friendships that keep many guests, and members, coming back. This community spirit is a key part of our co-operative. Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with friends or family, our holidays are designed to make discovering new places easy, enjoyable and rewarding. With experienced leaders, carefully planned itineraries and a choice of holidays to suit different interests and abilities, you can relax knowing that every detail has been thoughtfully taken care of. For 2027, we are excited to introduce a range of new holidays and experiences designed to fulfil your next adventure. From exploring the Arctic landscapes of Finland and the most beautiful gardens in Europe, to new ways of discovering familiar regions closer to home, we continue to expand and evolve our holiday programme to offer you even more choice.

SINCE 1913

Leading with a spirit of

altogetherness We are proud to be the UK’s only walking holiday co-operative. Founded by Thomas Arthur Leonard OBE in 1913 as the Holiday Fellowship, today HF Holidays is owned by our 40,000 members. Each has a voice in shaping how things are done.

We have regions of loveliness to seek out and to preserve for the highest uses of the human spirit. Thomas Arthur Leonard OBE

Walking together for 113 years This sense of “altogetherness” was deeply valued by T.A. Leonard. Country pastor turned social innovator, he’s regarded by many as the father of the outdoor movement and ran walking holidays as a way of bringing people together in the beauty of nature. He led those early walks himself. While much has changed in the last 100+ years, we remain true to our founder’s principles. Our team of 600+ volunteer HF Leaders continue his legacy through their love of the great outdoors and a belief in creating meaningful, shared experiences. Whether you are a member or a non-member, you will always receive a warm welcome on our holidays.

Join our community If our spirit of purpose and togetherness appeals to you, membership of our co-operative community of 40,000 fellow walkers is open to all. As well as having a say in key decisions, members also enjoy exclusive benefits and discounts on every holiday. Turn to page 20 to find out more.

A collective force for good Leaving a lasting legacy is incredibly important to us and we want to protect the places we love for generations to come. Money from membership shares and all profits from holiday sales are reinvested in caring for our country houses and equipping them with renewable energy.

Making a positive impact Donations to our Pathways Fund go towards everything from footpath repairs and supporting major projects in UK national parks, to funding mountain rescue teams and gifting restorative breaks to families in need. We like to think T.A. Leonard would approve.

Walk

your way

No two walkers are the same, which is why we are big on choice. Every walking holiday is graded from 1 to 10, reflecting the distance, ascent, terrain, and pace to expect, making it easy to choose a holiday that is right for you.

Walking grades 1-10 | Pick a pace that suits you Gentle

Moderate

Challenge

Relaxed-paced full or half day walks with shorter distances, gentler gradients and time to pause at places of interest. A good choice for those new to walking.

Longer distance full-day walks with mixed terrain, and moderate ascents and descents with regular stops. Suitable for regular country walkers who are fit and agile enough to cross obstacles, such as stiles and stream run offs.

Demanding full-on walks over longer distances with steep ascents/ descents over rugged mountainous terrain, and/or with significant distance. For very fit walkers with previous and recent multi-day mountain walking experience.

I really enjoyed meeting the other walkers and the flexibility of walks offered each day. Ms Crerar, HF Member

Guided Walking at HF Country Houses WALKING GRADES

Guided Walking holidays from our UK country houses are where it all began for HF Holidays and they remain our most popular choice.

Choose one of up to three daily walks We pride ourselves on offering you more daily walk options than any other walking holiday provider. With a choice of up to three different graded walks each walking day, you will find locations to suit a wide range of abilities, so no one feels left behind. How far and fast you want to walk may change from one day to the next, so you can mix and match walks throughout your holiday. Take on a challenging route with bigger climbs one day and choose something gentler the next, or keep it steady throughout. There is no need to decide in advance. Simply choose the walk that feels right for you each day. Every walk is led by a knowledgeable, experienced HF Leader, with each option offering a different pace and level of challenge.

Walk with confidence Leaders host ‘walk talks’ each evening to explain the different routes in detail and help you choose with confidence. From gentle, relaxed options for those with little or no experience, to longer, more demanding trails to challenge experienced walkers. Whether you want to explore the Northumberland coastline, the Scottish Highlands or walk the Cotswold countryside, you can go at a pace that suits you, all while discovering the beauty, history, and wildlife of your chosen destination.

walking

While walking is our passion, not every HF Holidays break involves pulling on your walking boots. Instead, some are built around shared interests, learning new skills or exploring a destination in depth, with indoor and outdoor options, and alternative ways to travel and sightsee. Each offers memorable, enriching experiences that bring curious minds and enthusiastic learners together.

Rail Adventures

River & Coastal Cruises

With regional and heritage railway journeys woven into the itinerary, our Rail Adventures are all about smooth, scenic journeys and the joy of travel around the UK or Europe. You will have ample time to relax, take in the views and enjoy new company.

Discover a new destination each day while unpacking only once. Cruise Europe’s great rivers and Croatia’s sun-soaked coast by premium small ship, or explore Norway’s Arctic shores on a brand new tour for 2027.

In Europe, our Discovery Tours combine sightseeing with coach or rail travel, helping you explore big-name sights and hidden gems alongside like-minded people and an experienced leader.

Travel with confidence Rest assured that all of our flight-inclusive holidays have 100% financial protection regulated by ATOL, while our rail-inclusive ‘no fly’ and land-only options are ABTOT bonded. Choose to fly from the UK, with departures from London, Manchester, and a selection of regional airports – look for details at the bottom of each holiday page. All flight-inclusive holidays also include hold baggage and airport transfers. We also offer ‘no fly’ rail travel on a range of holidays. Depart London St Pancras by Eurostar and continue via Europe’s well-connected rail network with coach transfers. A great way to see more of the continent before you arrive. Look out for our ‘no fly’ rail-inclusive pricing options. If you’d rather make your own way, our land-only packages give you the freedom to plan your journey independently.

Scottish Highlands Western Scotland

Scottish Highlands Everything in the Scottish Highlands warrants your attention; stunning scenery, amazing wildlife, heather-covered glens, big skies, and blissful seclusion. It’s also a huge draw for those keen to conquer Ben Nevis – Britain’s highest mountain. Rugged and remote, Glen Coe in the central highlands showcases Scotland’s untamed landscape at its most dramatic.

Glen Coe

Must see local area highlights in the Scottish Highlands

Glencoe National Nature Reserve Rare wildlife thrives thanks to Glen Coe’s National Nature Reserve status. When out on walks, keep your eyes peeled for herds of Scottish red deer roaming the glens, red squirrels in the woodlands or golden eagles soaring above. 26

Glencoe Lochan

Ben Nevis

Glenfinnan Viaduct

Towering North American redwood trees surround this small and peaceful lake outside Glencoe village. It was planted in the 1890s by Lord Strathcona to comfort his homesick Canadian wife. Today you can stroll along the waters edge or follow a woodland trail.

Standing at an impressive 1,345 metres above sea level, Ben Nevis is Britain’s highest mountain. The challenging climb to the summit follows a scenic track to a plateau home to the ruins of a Victorian observatory and views across the Highlands.

Opened in 1901, the Glenfinnan Viaduct is Scotland’s longest concrete railway bridge and famous for carrying the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films. Climb the Glenfinnan Monument; a memorial to the Jacobite soldiers, or take a cruise on serene Loch Shiel.

Cat Bells is one of the closest fells to our HF Country House. The climb rewards walkers with panoramic views from the top, and is home to a memorial plaque in honour of HF Holidays founder, T.A Leonard, known as the “Father of the Open-Air Movement”.

England’s last working slate mine is located at the top of the Honister Pass in the beautiful Borrowdale Valley. See slate being riven using 300-year-old processes, learn about Lakeland’s mining heritage, and watch thrill-seekers fly across the quarry on a 1,200m zip wire, the longest in the country.

Southern Lake District Northern England

Southern Lake District With its unspoiled, simple beauty, the Southern Lake District has stirred the imagination of visitors for centuries. Walks here take in views of the English landscape at its most sublime and some of the very same scenes that inspired the likes of William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.

Grasmere

Must see local area highlights in the Southern Lake District

Coniston

Grasmere

Less than a mile on foot from our HF Country House, this small village charms visitors with its selection of pubs and cafes, swimming opportunities in Coniston Water, and superb position at the foot of the mighty mountain, Old Man of Coniston, on the western shore of the lake.

Visit this pretty village to learn about the life and works of Romantic poet William Wordsworth at his former home, Dove Cottage. Afterwards, pop along to the Grasmere Gingerbread shop to sample this traditional sweet treat made to a family recipe since 1854.

Steam Yacht Gondola The National Trust’s steam-powered yacht on Coniston Water was built by the Furness Railway Company in 1859. Departing from the Monk Coniston jetty below the house it offers scenic cruises across the lake, surrounded by superb views of the fells.

Tarn Hows A direct route from our HF Country House leads to this popular National Trust beauty spot created from three natural tarns by Monk Coniston’s mid-19th century owner James Grant Marshall. A gentle 1.5-mile path around the tarn offers excellent views over the Langdale Pikes.

Northern England Southern Lake District

“I had a wonderful time at Monk Coniston. It’s in such a beautiful setting with views down to the lake. My room was very comfortable, the food was delicious and the staff were all lovely. I really enjoyed the guided walks. It was great not having to worry about transport or navigation as this was all taken care of.” Miss Findlay, April 2026 Guided Walking Monk Coniston

Coniston, Southern Lake District Coniston, Cumbria LA21 8AQ

Overlooking Coniston Water, the scenic location of this Grade II-listed house was the inspiration for Arthur Ransome’s 1930 novel, Swallows and Amazons. It was once owned by Beatrix Potter and a large oil canvas painted by her brother, artist Walter Bertram, still hangs in the hallway today. Outside, you’ll find huge grounds that slope down to the lake, a rare tree trail, and a direct walking route to Tarn Hows – a popular National Trust beauty spot. • 4-star Visit England-rated guest accommodation • 30 guest rooms, including one Superior • 12 single rooms • Large grounds with lake views • Arboretum

Howgill Fells

Cautley Spout

Our HF Country House is steps from the centre of Sedbergh, England’s official book town thanks to its plentiful supply of independent bookshops and more books for sale per population than anywhere else. Westwood bookshop was voted one of England’s best by the Guardian.

Explore the narrow streets of this charming market town in Upper Wensleydale home to independent shops, welcoming cafés, as well as the Wensleydale Creamery where you can take a tour of the dairy, taste Yorkshire’s most famous cheese, and take some home with you.

This small group of hills was adored by legendary fellwalker, illustrator, and guidebook author Alfred Wainwright. Classic walking routes over the Howgill Fells offer rounded grassy ridges and impressive views over both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.

Set on the eastern slopes of the Howgill Fells, Cautley Spout is England’s highest above-ground waterfall. Watch as its dramatic waters tumble nearly 200 metres down the hillside, creating one of the Sedbergh area’s most spectacular natural sights.

North York Moors Northern England

North York Moors A much-treasured national park covering 554 square miles, the North York Moors does heather-clad moorland like nowhere else. Three-quarters of the world’s heather moors are found in Britain, and this is England’s biggest.

North York Moors National Park

Must see local area highlights in the North York Moors

Roseberry Topping

Whitby Abbey

Robin Hood’s Bay

Known for its distinct half-cone summit, Roseberry Topping attracts adventurous walkers who seek the challenge of reaching its peak and enjoying spectacular views across the beautiful Yorkshire coast and North York Moors National Park.

The hauntingly beautiful clifftop ruins that overlook Whitby are said to have been the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula when the Irish author stayed in the seaside resort and fishing port in 1890. Climb the famous 199 steps to the top for excellent views over the town and coast.

Famed for its steep cobbled streets and fossil-rich beaches, this former fishing village and smuggling den is a must visit. Walk a section of the Cleveland Way from Whitby Abbey and you’ll enjoy farreaching sea views along the six-mile route to this Yorkshire Coast gem.

Southern Yorkshire Dales Northern England

Southern Yorkshire Dales The Southern Yorkshire Dales set the bar high for knockout views and natural wonders. There’s Malham Cove, a striking amphitheatre-shaped limestone formation, and Gordale Scar, an ancient gorge that ranks among the Yorkshire Dales National Park’s most iconic landmarks.

Limestone pavement above Malham Cove

Must see local area highlights in the Southern Yorkshire Dales

The Pennine Way Our HF Country House is just a five-minute stroll from the scenic section of the Pennine Way that runs alongside the River Aire and into Malham, the small Yorkshire village that is as big on natural wonders as it is on beautiful views, quaint cafes, and traditional pubs. 50

Malham Cove & Malham Tarn Marvel at Malham Cove’s massive limestone cliff face from below or climb the steps for fantastic views on the limestone pavement above. Then, continue across high moorland to Malham Tarn, England’s highest glacial lake formed over 10,000 years ago.

Janet’s Foss

Gordale Scar

Local folklore says that the woodland waterfall and deep pool in this National Trust owned glen is home to Janet, Queen of the Fairies, who lives in a small cave behind the cascading curtain of water. It’s a perfectly peaceful spot to pause and relax with a picnic.

Located just a short walk from Janet’s Foss, one of the Yorkshire Dales’ oldest natural landmarks is actually a collapsed cave system which has created a dramatic limestone gorge. It’s popular with experienced climbers looking to scale the sheer rock walls.

Blenheim Palace

With its rows of idyllic thatched-roof cottages, gently turning watermill, and views across the timeless countryside scenery of the Cotswolds, the centre of this delightful village was once voted the ‘most romantic street in Britain’.

Set amid Gloucestershire’s rolling green countryside, this Taj Mahal-inspired estate boasts Mughal-style minarets, onion domes and lavish gardens layered with water features that stir the imagination of anyone interested in the history of the British Raj.

Built in 1443 on the site of a 12th-century stronghold, this Cotswold highlight has a long history and no less than 10 gorgeous gardens. Its royal connections are many, including being the final resting place of Catherine Parr, the only one of Henry VIII’s six wives to outlive him.

Birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and home to the Dukes and Duchesses of Marlborough, Blenheim Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site packed with historical treasures including the famous Marlborough Tapestries, a set of early 18th-century wall hangings.

Cornwall Southern England

Cornwall England’s most westerly corner is a rugged peninsula that clings to local customs, legends, and an ancient language all of its own. And in the same way Cornish miners once chiselled precious metals from the earth, Cornwall has carved out a place for itself as a world-class holiday destination.

St Ives

Must see local area highlights in Cornwall

St Ives Our HF Country House puts you just steps from the centre of this seaside hub that has inspired generations of artists with its working harbour, white-sand beaches, and historic fishing community that still retains many of its seafaring traditions today. 86

St Agnes Heritage Coast Walk the St Agnes Heritage Coast, where heather-covered cliffs, Atlantic views and the atmospheric ruins of Wheal Coates reveal Cornwall’s rich tin-mining heritage in a landscape now designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Minack Theatre This remarkable open-air venue was created by Rowena Cade and carved into the granite cliffs above Porthcurno Beach. Its dramatic terraces overlook the Atlantic Ocean, providing a memorable backdrop for plays, pantomimes and musical performances.

Eilean Donan Castle, Scottish Highlands Castlerigg Stone Circle, Northern Lake District

Our Discover More holidays are designed for guests who prefer sightseeing to a walking break. Guided by a knowledgeable HF Leader, these small-group tours visit both big-name UK attractions and hidden gems that offer unique experiences not possible with a larger party. Whether it’s exploring historic slate mines in the Lake District, cider tasting in Somerset, or a heritage railway ride through the Derbyshire countryside, every day offers something different. Some walking is still required, so you should be comfortable covering up to 2 miles (3.2km) a day and able to board and leave a minibus/small coach comfortably. Visit hfholidays.co.uk/discover-more to find out more.

What’s included on all Discover More holidays: • En-suite accommodation at HF Country Houses • Welcome cream tea on arrival, cooked and continental breakfast every morning, daily packed lunches & three-course evening meals • Guided sightseeing with an experienced HF Holidays leader in small groups of maximum 16 people • All necessary transport throughout the itinerary • All entrance fees (other than National Trust, English Heritage and Cadw in Wales) • Easy-to-follow walking routes, maps and information at our Discovery Points if you want to explore independently on your free day

Booking a single room HF Members enjoy classic single rooms in our country houses without paying a single supplement, while non-members are charged £10 per person, per night. For our partner holidays, as well as trips across Europe and worldwide, single supplements do apply — this is because many hotels charge based on room occupancy. That said, we work hard to keep these costs as low as possible. If you’d like help finding a suitable single room, our friendly Sales & Support team is here to assist.

Special requests If you have any special requests, whether it’s something to make your stay more comfortable or a specific need during your holiday, please let us know at the time of booking. Our Sales & Support team will liaise with the relevant teams to do everything we can to ensure you’re well looked after.

Our itineraries & entrance fees In the winter months, the choice of daily walks on Guided Walking holidays at HF Country Houses is reduced from three to two. Please

see detailed trip notes before booking. While we plan our itineraries well in advance, closer to the time, or even on the day, we may need to adjust the order of activities or swap days around, especially if the weather calls for it. Any changes are made with your enjoyment and safety in mind. Please note that entrance fees to National Trust and English Heritage sites/attractions are not included unless otherwise stated. This helps keep the overall holiday price lower for all guests, as many are already entitled to free or discounted entry. Please refer to the individual trip notes online for details of any entry or admission fees that may be payable locally, where applicable.

Tailoring for special diets If you have any dietary needs, please let us know in advance. At our HF Country Houses, we can cater for a wide range of dietary needs. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available as standard on our menus. If you are staying at one of our partner hotels, please check at the time of booking whether your dietary requirements can be met.

Managing your membership & bookings online If you haven’t already, you can register for ‘My Account’ at hfholidays.co.uk/account. It’s a quick and easy way to update your details, view your holiday documents, and pay your final balance. You can also manage your membership, view your shareholding, access our member-only forum The Boot Room, and brand partner discounts.

Making changes to your booking Need to switch to a different holiday or date? We’ll do our best to help, subject to availability. Please send your request in writing before your final balance is due. You can change your booking to the same holiday on a different date or to another holiday of equal value once. If your change involves a new date or location, we’ll recalculate the cost based on current prices. Please note that previously applied promotions (except the Welcome Home code) can’t be carried over. Changes are subject to: • A £40 admin fee per person • Any extra costs incurred by us or our suppliers If you request changes after your final balance is due, or if we can’t accommodate your request and you decide not to go ahead, it will be treated as a cancellation (see ‘Cancelling Your Booking’ on the next page for details).

Transferring your booking to someone else You can transfer your booking to another person if: • They meet all the holiday requirements • You let us know at least 7 days before departure • You pay any outstanding balance, a £40 transfer fee per person, and any extra costs associated with the name change • The new traveller agrees to our booking conditions Both you and the person taking over the booking will be responsible for any outstanding payments and charges. Some parts of your holiday may not be transferable and could incur cancellation fees.

Content & pricing The information in this piece is correct at the time of print. However, occasionally changes and errors can occur, and we reserve the right to rectify these. Prices are subject to availability and can be changed or withdrawn at any time. Please refer to our website for full details of the holidays we provide before booking. All bookings will be subject to the booking conditions on our website. Please read them in full at hfholidays.co.uk/booking-conditions.

Member Price Pledge Promise For extra peace of mind, we offer our members a Price Pledge. This exclusive members-only benefit means you can be sure of the best price at the time of booking (excluding self-guided holidays, group and third-party bookings). In the event that the price of your holiday reduces after you have booked, we will automatically refund the difference by adjusting your holiday cost and reissuing your holiday confirmation before your departure.

Cancelling your booking If you or someone in your group needs to cancel, please let us know by calling us on 020 3974 8865 or email cancellations@hfholidays.co.uk. Your cancellation will be effective from the date we receive your notice. If someone cancels from a group booking, it may affect the price for those still travelling. Cancellation charges apply and are based on the full holiday cost. These charges apply to both individual and group bookings. See our website for details. If we ever need to cancel your holiday, you’ll have the option to: • Choose an alternative holiday (we’ll refund the difference if it’s cheaper), or • Cancel and receive a full refund We won’t cancel your holiday after the balance due date unless it’s due to unforeseen circumstances, non-payment, or if the minimum number of guests hasn’t been reached.

Flight-inclusive holidays All flights include hold baggage and return airport transfers to and from your hotels. While most flights depart from London airports, we also offer a selection of holidays from Manchester, Birmingham and other regional airports. Prices may vary, please see details on individual holiday pages in this brochure and on our website. If you’d rather organise your own flights and transfers, select our land only option.

Filming and photography Occasionally, we may take photos or film at our country houses for promotional use. If filming is planned, we’ll let you know at check-in and during the welcome talk. We’ll make sure it doesn’t affect your holiday — and if you’d prefer not to be involved, just avoid the filming areas.

Travel Insurance Travel insurance is not provided by HF Holidays. HF Holidays strongly recommends that all customers obtain comprehensive travel insurance to cover medical expenses, cancellations, delays, personal property, rescue, repatriation, all altitudes included within your itinerary and all programmed activities you take part in during your holiday, or other risks that travel insurance is designed

to protect against. It is a condition of booking that all customers resident in the United Kingdom obtain comprehensive travel insurance for all overseas holidays booked with HF Holidays. It is also a condition of booking that all customers resident outside the United Kingdom (who are not UK citizens) obtain comprehensive travel insurance for all HF Holidays arrangements, whether taking place in the UK or overseas. Customers who choose to travel without adequate insurance do so entirely at their own risk. HF Holidays shall not be liable for costs or losses arising from circumstances that would ordinarily be covered by appropriate travel insurance. We may require you to provide proof of adequate insurance cover either before or during your holiday.

Changes to travelling to Europe from the UK A new entry & exit system (EES) In October 2025, a new Entry/Exit System (EES) replaced passport stamping when entering the EU. You’ll be asked to provide a photo and fingerprints at a kiosk. You don’t need to apply for anything before you travel. These changes are designed to make travel safer and more efficient but may lead to delays at the border as the new system is phased in. A European Travel Information & Authorisation System When the European Union announce the specific date for the start of ETIAS, you’ll need to apply online for ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System), a quick and simple travel authorisation, similar to the US ESTA. It will cost 20 Euro and be valid for three years. There’s no fee for over 70s, but you will still need to apply. See gov.uk/guidance/eu-entryexit-system for more information, and our team is here to help if you need support with the process.

Your financial protection We provide full financial protection for our package holidays which don’t include flights, by way of a bond held by ABTOT (The Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust Limited), membership number 5008, 69 Leadenhall Street, London, EC3A 2BG, 020 7065 5311, membership@abtot.com. ABTOT provides financial protection under The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 for HF Holidays Ltd, and in the event of our insolvency, protection is provided for non-flight packages. ABTOT cover provides for a refund in the event you have not yet travelled or repatriation if transportation was included in your package. Please note that bookings made outside the UK are only protected by ABTOT when purchased directly with HF Holidays Ltd, company number IP05713R.
