Walks in the Literary Landscape
A range of evocative guided walks especially designed to explore the work of particular writers or landscapes with a literary connection.
There are things that we will never see, unless we walk to them.
Walks for groups
In addition to the examples below, we can arrange walks for groups at any time of year, in almost any region and relating to almost any writer or group of writers. Events can include guest speakers, evening entertainments and other special features.
Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Individual Bookings
Our walks are also available at dates as specified for individual booking. Our weekend walks are designed to be un-pressurised and about enjoying stimulating discussion in good company, with good food, and hotels that are affordable yet full of character.
