Celtic Trails Walking Holidays

My husband and I recently completed walking the St. Cuthbert’s Way in Scotland. What an amazing way to spend a vacation and get to know a new area. The scenery in the Borders was stunning
and it was so fun to talk to so many different people along the way. We would run into the locals along the way, or chat with our B&B hosts, taxi drivers and fellow sojourners from near and far.

Celtic Trails organized our trip, and they took care of all the details! All the logistics required were organized and communicated to us. This was the first walking holiday that we have done and the team at Celtic Trails was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, even providing guidance for getting to and from the walk in the Borders. Their partners were so friendly, hospitable and helpful — from the B&B hosts to taxi drivers to the luggage transfer companies.

I would highly recommend a walking holiday with Celtic Trails. They are a small family run business, with a high level of professional but personal service. You can trust them to take care of you!

We just completed the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path walk and had a wonderful time. Celtic trails did a great job organising everything. They chose lovely accommodations, managed all of the luggage transfers excellently, and provided us with clear, relevant, and current information that made the journey easy and pleasant. We really appreciated that the proprietors of the inns and B&B‘s seemed to know Celtic Trails and consider them reputable and desirable clients. We felt that we got treated especially well because we were travelling with Celtic trails.

We just completed the Montenegro six day hike (May 20-27) and it was pure magic! Celtic Trails did a fantastic job coordinating everything; Montenegro was beautiful and the trip itself had so much variety, we were constantly in awe. We would recommend Celtic Trails to everyone; and will certainly use this fine company in the future! Thanks CT, for all your hard work to make this trip amazing! Mary, John, Evelyn and Stuart

Celtic Trails organised a 4 day walking break for us along the Pembrokeshire Coastal path from Solva to Aberreiddy, with us staying in St. David’s. The holiday was simply fantastic. Celtic Trails were a pleasure to deal with, very professional and the organisation was first class. The walks, transport logistics and accommodation were all arranged by Celtic Trails and everything ran like clockwork. If you’re looking for a hassle free way to organise a walking holiday, be sure to talk to them.

We did their LCP5 itinerary on the Llyn Peninsula section of the Wales Coastal Path, from Trevor to Aberdaron with an extra night in Aberdaron. We requested a quieter area and it did not disappoint. Other than day hikers when close to car parks, we pretty much had the path to ourselves. Other than the sheep, of course! And the seals! Loved the phenomenal coastal views, overdosed on fresh sea air. Their planning, pre-trip communication, selected accommodations, and walking notes/materials were all spot on. Celtic Trails was highly recommended to us by a fellow inn-to-inn walker we ran into the year before, and we are so glad we traveled with them. Will for sure use Celtic Trails again on our next Wales adventure.

Celtic Trails was so informative and helpful planning our hike from an ocean away! Wales was so beautiful- we had a great time. One thing to note- if you are hiking on your final day and leaving your accommodations, it is a long day- so think about staying that night if you can or have to travel.

My husband, Alan and I, just finished an 11 night, 9 day walking tour of the Fife Coastal Path booked with Celtic Trails. This was one of the best vacations that we have taken.
Celtic Trails planned every detail and our vacation ran like clock work. The materials provided by Nathan at Celtic trails were extremely detailed and so easy to follow. We received a book, a map, and detailed instructions for each day. All the hotels were booked, the transfers arranged, restaurants recommended for each destination, hiking apps suggested, and a list of taxi companies provided for each destination.
Every hotel or B&B was wonderful. I would like to make a special mention of Dunclutha Guest House in Leven. The hostess Julie was so nice and made our stay very special.
We spent 4 days in St Andrews at the Ardgown Hotel, which was great after hotel hopping at the beginning of the trip.
Nathan was very easy to work with. He is conscientious, and responsive to what we wanted while planning this trip.
I highly recommend Celtic Trails Walking Holidays. We had a fabulous trip and everything went smoothly with no missteps.

Celtic Trails is fantastic! I was scheduled to walk Hadrian’s Wall path in 2020, and they were very understanding about the delay in my willingness and ability to travel during the pandemic. Fast forward to May 2023 and I have a wonderful, well organized, seamless trip. The walk was stunning and allowed me to see parts of England I hadn’t had the chance to visit. The accommodations were well thought out, more than comfortable, and the communication and walk pack were outstanding. I will use their services again, and have recommended them to my friends, family, and anyone who has heard of my trip. If I could give a rating higher than 5 stars, I would! Thank you to Penny and all the lovely people at Celtic Trails for a perfect holiday!

Offa's Dyke Walk - 10-22 Oct 2023. Sarah and the team at Celtic Trails were outstanding in the planning , preparation and support throughout this incredible walk across the border between Wales and England. I will definitely choose Celtic Trails again.

We have recently completed the 10-day Cumbria Way Walk in the Lake District of England. Celtic Trails were excellent in their choice of B&B accommodation, luggage transfers and the comprehensive information package they provided. The holiday was most enjoyable, and we were able to focus on the walking component as everything else was taken care of! I would highly recommend Celtic Trails to organize your next walking holiday.

We just returned from my third outing with Celtic Trails, this time on the Rob Roy Way in the southern Scottish highlands. I know that Celtic Trails can't take credit for the fabulous weather, but cool and sunny skies along with Celtic Trails' expertise worked together to make it an outstanding experience. First, big thanks to Nathan for steering us toward this particular walk. I wasn't familiar with the Rob Roy Way, but he asked us what we were looking for in a walking holiday and steered us to this particular route, which was far less crowded than the better known West Highland Way but still incredibly scenic--lochs, lochans, rivers, mountains, meadows, cute towns, forests, SOOO many waterfalls, etc. They arranged lodging in a variety of lovely B and Bs, inns and even a pub, and made sure that our luggage made it safely from one spot to another while we focused on enjoying the trail and time with our group. (One of the innkeepers went out of her way to forward some items that we accidentally left behind to our next inn!) They arranged a taxi to pick us up and drop us off one day when our stopping point didn't have any lodging. And they provided us with lots of tips for enjoying the trail and the little towns where we stopped, from lunch and dinner recommendations to taxi contacts for the day when one of our group just didn't feel up to making the trek. I always feel like I'm in good hands when I book a walking holiday with Celtic Trails!

We just finished our second walking tour with Celtic Trails Walking Holidays, and would heartily recommend. My sisters and I have completed the Pembrokshire Coast Path and the Cotswold Round Path. Both of these treks were tremendous! Celtic Trails has set us up in hotels that were top-notch, varied, picturesque and always clean. Having a set of experts to offer routes, transfers, and accommodations leaves us to simply walk, relax, and take in the surroundings. That's what vacations are for!

We booked a Walking Holiday of the Jersey coast with Celtic Trails and would 100% recommend booking through them. Everything was clear, well-arranged, orderly - the printed material received was concise and laid out per day, so we could just take one page out of the pack for the relevant day, which contained all we needed to know. Transfers of luggage hotel to hotel were seamless. All in all, a truly great experience and one of the best holidays ever. Thank you Celtic Trails.

We did the 3 Castles Walk in July. Was a great experience. The information pack that was sent was detailed and extremely helpful as you are walking across paddocks, fields, laneways and country roads - so their detailed instructions on where to look for the walk markers was super helpful and needed. The walk itself was beautiful and varied.

The accommodation they booked us was great - awesome host, great breakfast, large clean room.

Celtic Trails did an excellent job providing instructions and accommodations on the Offa's Dyke Path for me. I walked the northern half from Knighton to Prestatyn in August and lucked out with dry, cool hiking weather with rain only on the final day at the very end. It was all beautiful!

What a luxury to have someone else book your accommodation and arrange for you to be transported from a to b, as necessary! My son and I walked the Gower Coast Path earlier this month and we cannot fault Celtic Trails; their organisation and communication were excellent. Thank you!

My wife and I booked a three night/two day hiking trip on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path through Celtic Trails for late April. We hiked from Amroth to Tenby, and then Tenby to Manorbier. Although the weather did not cooperate we still had a very enjoyable time. We were very pleased with Celtic Trails: they arranged accommodations and transportation at a fair price. Our three night stay in Tenby at the Glenthorne Guest House was very comfortable and pleasant; Jeff and Lisa are wonderful hosts. Celtic Trails was prompt in its responses to our questions and provided updates and guidance throughout the booking process and after. We highly recommend Celtic Trails and plan on using them again.

A friend and I just finished the Offa's Dyke trail and I cannot speak too highly about the experience. Everything I had hoped for and more. I'm very glad that I used Celtic Trails because their excellent service meant that we only had to concentrate on walking. All the accomodations were of a good standard and some were quite outstanding. I would definitely use Celtic trails again and would certaily recommend them to other walkers.

We used Celtic Walking Trails for our Hadrian's Wall walk and they were wonderful. They made all the arrangements, including our overnight stays, moving bags from inn to inn, and even customized the trip so we could spend a day with a friend for her birthday. They have very good communications. I recommend them, and would use them again in a heartbeat.

Celtic Trail have organized two walks for us: the highlights of Offa's Dyke Path and, more recently, the Cotswold Way. They are meticulous in their attention to detail, great communicators, and provide succinct and helpful information in their walking pack. We remommend them without hesitation.
