Coastal paths, mountain passes and hill-town lanes, walked hotel to hotel with your luggage moved ahead. No group, no guide, no fixed schedule.
A Waybound walking holiday puts you on trails we've researched and walked ourselves, through landscapes, villages and regions chosen for the journey itself. Your accommodation is booked, your luggage moves ahead, and detailed route notes guide you stage by stage.
You set the pace. Stop for the view, take the longer route, finish early. The day is yours to shape, with everything planned so the only thing you carry is a day pack.
Every route below has been walked by our team. Distances, terrain and accommodation are chosen so the journey is the destination.
Circle three countries on foot, from alpine passes to quiet valley villages with views that change every hour.
Hill towns on foot, with long lunches, olive groves and Renaissance skylines at the end of every day.
Ireland's western coast on foot. Sea cliffs, quiet villages and a pint at the end of each day.

The final stages of the Camino, through Galician countryside to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Your bags move ahead to the next stop each day. You carry only a day pack.
