Inn to inn walking is magical, but sometimes you just want to move in and settle in. With no unpacking and then packing again the next day. With centre-based walking holidays, that’s exactly what happens. However, because our focus is on great walking trails, we don’t choose these hiking havens lightly. We need to ensure that there are enough treks on the doorstep, so that you can either wake up and start walking, or take an easy transfer to the trailhead. We have some beauties here, as you can see, with a wealth of centre-based hikes on the doorsteps.
