WIN! A WALKING BREAK

HAVE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR AND HEAD INTO THE HILLS WITH A THREE- NIGHT GUIDED WALKING BREAK WITH HF HOLIDAYS

-

There’s a drama that comes with mountain ranges and rolling hills. Snowdonia, the Scottish Highlands, the Lakes… the UK is home to some spectacula­r mountain scenery – close enough to home to be enjoyed in a short break. Walking specialist HF Holidays has teamed up with The Simple

Things to give away a guided walking break for two, staying at one of its 19 country houses. Your first challenge? Deciding where to go…

HF Holidays has been organising walking trips for more than a century, so the company knows its stuff. All of its UK guided walking breaks come with a choice of walks each day – easier, medium, harder – which means you can pick a route to suit your mood/the weather/energy levels.

As well as bases at Derwent Water in the Lakes, Glencoe and two properties in Snowdonia, highlights include escapes in the Yorkshire Dales, the Cotswolds and Peak District, and coastal getaways from Northumber­land to Dorset. All HF Holidays UK locations are within National Parks or Areas of Outstandin­g Natural Beauty.

Its country houses can be as sociable or relaxed as you like. Walk together during the day or explore independen­tly. Meet up in the bar before dining with fellow walkers. Each house offers a different experience; from legendary packed lunches to dedicated boot rooms, maps and books galore...

If you’re new to walking, opt for one of HF Holidays’ taster breaks – self-guided and guided walks, from gentle rambles to longer hikes. And there are experts on hand to give advice on everything from boots to routes. hfholidays.co.uk/taster, 0345 470 7558
