Celebrating 80 Years

 What started as pioneering post-war rambles from a small London office has grown into a global programme of guided walking holidays, yet the spirit remains unchanged, a love of fresh air, shared endeavour and the quiet satisfaction of reaching each summit together.

Across eight decades, generations of walkers have laced up their boots and stepped into something far greater than a holiday. They have crossed alpine passes, traced ancient pilgrimage routes and wandered through remote villages and wild shorelines, always in the company of expert leaders and like-minded companions.

For 80 years, our passion for walking has taken travellers beyond the guidebook and into the heart of the world’s most beautiful landscapes. What first began as a love for exploring on foot, has evolved into a trusted name in walking holidays, bringing together generations of explorers who share a curiosity for culture, nature and discovery.

At the core of our heritage and reputation is our remarkable community - where valued customers, like-minded groups, expert leaders and the dedicated team at The Trust combine. Together with a shared passion for connection and the joy of walking, they shape and experience some of the finest itineraries on the map. 

Led by knowledgeable guides and with graded routes designed to suit a range of abilities, our carefully crafted walking experiences cover the UK and beyond. From rolling countryside trails and historic pathways to breathtaking global destinations and bucket-list landmarks that invite enthusiasts to embrace more challenging terrains, every journey blends adventure with insight. 

As we celebrate eight extraordinary decades, we aim to channel the timelessness of walking and remain committed to the very same values today that started it all in 1946  - travel that gives back to landscapes and communities.
