Walk through the Pennines and Lake District in the Yorkshire Dales. Welcome to the timeless beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, one of England’s purest Highland landscapes. With rolling green hills, limestone escarpments, winding valleys, and stone-built villages, this is a region where age-old traditions and stunning views remain remarkably untouched. Along the way, you’ll encounter waterfalls, Roman roads, ancient churches, abbey ruins, and cosy real ale pubs that reflect the proud heritage of the area.
This self-guided walking holiday follows the full 78-mile route of the much-loved Dales Way, a long-distance path established in 1969. Beginning in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the trail winds west through river valleys and over stretches of open moorland, finishing in the Lake District at Bowness-on-Windermere.
The walking is mostly gentle, though some sections can be muddy after rain, and there are a few higher moorland crossings. Much of the route follows picturesque rivers such as the Wharfe, Dee, Rawthey, Lune, and Kent, where you may spot kingfishers, dippers, wagtails, and even Berwick swans. Brown trout are often seen in the clear waters.
Highlights include a scenic walk through Wharfedale, time to explore the atmospheric ruins of Bolton Abbey, and a steady ascent to the Pennine watershed at Cam Fell, which rises to 1,700 feet (518 metres). From there, the trail descends into peaceful Dentdale, continues through the historic market town of Sedbergh, and crosses gently rolling pastureland to reach Lake Windermere.
This is a rewarding route for walkers seeking a true taste of rural upland England, full of natural charm, history, and quiet beauty.

Walk on the Cornwall Coast Path West from St Ives to Mevagissey. Explore one of the most diverse and rewarding sections of the South West Coast Path on this 13-day walking holiday from St Ives to Mevagissey. This self-guided route takes you through some of Cornwall’s most striking coastal features—steep granite cliffs at Land’s End, the sculpted rock formations at Kynance Cove, and the quiet beaches near Mullion and Marazion. Starting in St Ives, with its cobbled streets and thriving arts scene, the path leads through historical sites such as old tin mines near Zennor and Botallack, and fishing harbours including Mousehole, Portloe, and Mevagissey. Along the way, you will pass natural landmarks like The Carracks—home to Atlantic grey seals—and navigate scenic estuaries on ferries across the Helford and Fal rivers. The trail also offers views of St Michael’s Mount, visits to coastal villages like Sennen Cove and St Mawes, and insight into Cornwall’s smuggling and maritime history as you arrive in Falmouth. This stretch of the South West Coast Path offers varied terrain, cultural interest, and a well-paced itinerary ideal for walkers of moderate ability looking to explore more of authentic Cornwall on foot over a 2 week trip.

Honest insights from past guests on our Explorer England tours
Anonymous | Traveled in May
Very busy, but saw most everything I wanted on this trip. The Travel Director was very informative and kept things interesting. Optional experiences were just the added touch to some of the towns we stopped in. I would definitely book through Brendan again
Brenda Tw | Traveled in May
I felt it was a great tour but I do believe that your tour guide and driver are the making or breaking of your tour. Our guide was gracious to everyone. His preparation was great to the degree of having music that related to the places we were seeing & also the age group on the tour. Nothing was a trouble as far as helping passengers with slight disabilities. He never made them feel as if they were a problem. Our driver was a younger man who was also prepared to help anyone at anytime. He was a very good driver who took us to places we may never have seen without his care & consideration but also made it very interesting..
Gary Wh | Traveled in May
A fabulous tour providing a comprehensive and informative incite into Britain's unique history plus showing those on the tour a great cross section of both beautiful scenery and interesting towns and cities. The beauty of the small group tour that Back-Roads provides meant we were able visit many out of the way locations, travelling along narrow country lanes amidst beautiful scenery, something that bigger tours couldn't offer. Our tour leader Giovanni was very entertaining and a wealth of knowledge and our driver Dimitri was very skilled and professional in the way he handle some of the more difficult roads and remote villages, Both men engaged well with their passengers and made a great team.
Alan Mi | Traveled in May
Terry, our guide, was very passionate in showing and talking about the English heritage and landscape. Ash, our bus driver, was magnificent in guiding the bus through tight spaces during the tour.
Gayle Do | Traveled in May

Michael Ma | Traveled in May
